Upper Colorado River Crew Training Trip

Steve behind the oars, Ginger on the bow (hating the trip).

We had a really good overnight training trip on upper Colorado River (Pumphouse run). We crowded the river with five boats and inflatable kayaks and everyone had a chance to experience all of our rafts and kayaks, practice throw bags, and sit through Martin’s torturous Q&A session about disabilities and CDA’s river running protocols. We had a few new volunteers on this trip and a few new starts were born! Ben, we are in the process if designing a holster for you that can hold seven throw bags!

Cynthia and Joel during Martin’s fascinating session about CDA’s river running protocols and procedures.
