Crawling north in Colorado --now between Salida and Beuna Vista in the Arkansas River Recreation Area Ruby Mtn campground--no facilities --fine got plenty on board--can go 3 days with water and stuff. So lots of river rafting on the Arkansas river--so we ask any spots in the river for touring Kayaks--sure put in at Jonhson landing and float down to the campsite Class 1 and 2, well up in Maine the Saco is class 1 a bit of two over Walker Falls.Got the camp host Tom to put us in and take our truck back to the take out --see ya Tom see ya in a couple of hours 7 mile trip .Shoved off and not too  bad manuevered around some big rocks--no problem this is exciting and great challenge-- for that half mile --did you ever see the movie River Wild --well the next mile for a couple of non white water yakers it was  close --waiting for the Gautlet--so after tipping over hitting rocks and yaks filling up with water several times--we were exhausted --luckly the water was only waist deep--not knowing what to do -get out climb the bank look for help--our savior came a rubber rafting guide Corey with 3 folks in it recognized the problem balanced Mims yak in the back and she got into the raft I followed.Another mile down I came sideways on a boulder and over I went in a second--lost my paddle those guys were ahead and saw it go by.So grabbed Mims paddle never found mine and tucked myself right behind that raft for the rest of the trip...Geez what the heck Gonna stick to ponds We promised to stop talking about it to prevent nite mares
Another day here more fishing --and moving on the Leadville highest town in the Rockies --then on to Granby for some horseback riding with our NH neighbor, Sarah Hubbell.

Living for the moment M & M on the go
