I haven’t started any regular training on the South Platte River in this year yet. However, following our New Year trip, 22 miles to Fort Morgan, I had a couple of paddling photo session on the river above Kersey.
The river flow is going down, but there is still plenty of water to paddle. I believe that South Platte remains the only open water in northern Colorado.
Some of my paddling pictures can be licensed for personal and commercial or purchased as prints and on some other fancy mechandise at my SmugMug website. You are welcome to check paddling galleries or Colorado Water portfolio.
Yesterday, I exercised Spencer X-treme canoe. That boat felt tippy, especially, with single blade paddle.
Did I really manage to paddle 340 miles on the Missouri river in that shell?
Hunting blind at a confluence of Lone Tree Creek with the South Platte. I heard a heavy gun fire further upstream at Mitani-Tokuyasu Wilderness State Area. Perhaps, it would be nicer to switch my paddling sessions from afternoons to mornings.
Coastal ice on the river two weeks ago. There was also some floating ice. I paddled my ice breaker – Sea Wind canoe.
