  •  Way late.

    Was out the door way early for a day of whitewater river rafting.  We went under the bridge shown in this video, through that canyon.  (Also familiar to those of you who have seen Easy Rider or Natural Born Killers.)  The musician might not be familiar - a local called Robert Mirabal.  All in honor of, or rather catalyzed by, a visit to the area of our fellow Kossack OrangeClouds115.  Others of us got together in various ways over the weekend:  Dallas Doc, TheFatLadySings and environmentalist.  A little sunburned, and with some good "canyon happy" and Class IV rapids making up the day.

      I was there in February? earlier this year anyway.  I am definitely scared of heights.
