Good evening folks. I&#39;ve been off the grid for a few days and thought I&#39;d check in.<br /><br />How is everyone in California doing with all those fires raging.  I&#39;m seeing your smoke all the way over here.<br /><br />I just got back yesterday from a canoe trip with my younger son down the Gunnison River in western Colorado.  Canoeing&#39;s alot of fun.  I like to think of it as micro-cruising. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":happy:" border="0" alt="happy.gif" /> <br /><br />The wather was decent, but hot.  We didn&#39;t get any rain until the last minute when we were trying to unload all the canoes from the river.  By the time we pulled out our rain gear, the rain stopped and we were all soaked.  Oh well.<br /><br />Here&#39;s a photo.<br /><br /><img src="http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p323/kdiviness/gunnison_tripcopy.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br />Have a good weekend everyone.  <br />
