10th anniversary river trip!

Just back from a five day paddle on the mighty Colorado! Much fun was had.
I sent this picture to Sea Kayaker magazine this morning and the editor told me if I had shot it in high-res I would have scored the cover shot - damn!

D. throwing some casts in camp.


A blue heron. I like to fish where the birds do - they have it down.


Floating into camp in fading light.



Small kayakers on the lower left.


Again - big walls, small boat.


The nicest fish I've pulled out of the Rio Colorado in around five years.


Barry & Eugene came along for laughs.


The sun peaking over the rim.


Lovely Wife puttering around camp.


A hell of a beauty caught by D. back in the drink!


Modern dinosaur holding court while resting one foot. One can see why my dad used to refer to these as "shit-a-quarts"


BW & EC cruising in the shade.


Euge's first kayak trip.


"the tooth" AZ'a largest free standing spire I have heard.


Nice fish! Paddle blade for scale is 22" long.


A fitting celebration for ten years of marriage. - Steve.

That pic is awesome. How many pixels do you have to have to get on the cover? Stunning photo all around.
