Thanks bj', looks like you had good weather. I enjoyed the beach umbrellas. :cool-thumb:
The shot of you either in short shorts (or was that no shorts :icon_eek:) was only mildly disturbing. :icon_biggrin:

Thanks, you're making me want to do a river trip.  Those inflatable kayaks look really cool.

Wow, that looks like a lot of fun, and so darn pretty that it would take me three times as long to make it because I would have to stop a lot to break out the tripod!!  Yes, I use a tripod even in nice sunny weather.  :icon_biggrin:

Out of curiosity, which software do you use to put that together?  I have Proshow Producer, but I haven't really gotten around to using it just yet (it used to crash my XP box, but I think my Win7 box can handle it).

Thanks for the link with pics, BJ.  Looks like a nice peaceful section of river to float.  Were there a lot of other folks on the river?

There were more than usual.  Most people go on the green river, but since mineral bottom take out is closed, they have moved to the colorado river.  Thats the reason we done the Colorado river, but it is just as beautiful as the Green River, I'm glad we done it.  Have you done any hikes in Canyon land?

No, I haven't hiked in Canyonlands yet.  All of my hikes in that area have been in Grand Canyon.  I haven't exhausted all those trails yet :)

Most excellent adventure.
Visiting BB since 1966, nothing like being lost and finding heaven.
