Cross River Loop
Don from Confluence gave us a call and told us we should check out the Lawson hole before we left Colorado, and Woody and I hadn't really done a ton of playboating while we were out here so we figured, Why Not? While we were at it we added in the class 3-3+ run downstream as well.
Woodys First Cartwheels in a Hole
We played in the hole for a while seeing what the CR would do in a hole for Don and Woody and then worked our way downstream on the Clear Creek run from Lawson hole to the first Idaho Springs exit. Its a little wierd to keep track of where you are on a river by the exit signs on the highway right next to you.
Woody Ducking the Tunnel
The first thing we came to was a small tunnel. We went for it it was actually pretty fun. After that the river turned into very continuous class 3 and 4. It was really fun water but there were some sharp rocks and a few sticky holes that you had to pay attention to.

Shane: the photo's of you all are just fantastic, and after much review I must admit the best part is that I DON'T see Jennifer's photo's anymore! We were under the impression that our little daughter was just floating down a nice, comfy, slow moving, SAFE, body of water checking out some sites and just chillin' from school. There are a few photo's that have caused her Mom to seek counseling and they were so disturbing that while pulling a nail out of a wall - she slipped, fell backwards and landed on her left hand - breaking fall and wrist! She no longer cleans teeth for income - and I just want you to know ahead of time that she blames her daughter for this condition! Just thought I'd give you some fair warning - so when you guys do return to Dana, be aware of women wearing Kelly green cast on left arm and hand. Thanks for the great photo's and have a safe trip home. Dave the Dad of Jabber!
