It was a remarkable weekend for L-man and I here in Colorado.
We packed up our tent and gear into a friends truck and headed down near Gunnison for the weekend. We camped out and on Saturday morning, shuttled our gear to the Gunny Gorge trailhead and hiked it all a little over a mile, down to the river.

Here is the raft roll, which L-Man, Curt, Matt, and I carried.

Down at the river, it was a sight to behold:


This trip is definitely my favorite one we took this summer!
The canyon was amazing (although I wasn't able to get any pics until the rapids were done),


and spending time with friends was priceless. I'm so regretful that I didn't get a group shot of all 12 of us together though..... I AM however, so very thankful that L-man took the time to put the trip together, that Curt allowed us to carpool with him and his daughter Arwen, that Lance and Heather graced us with their presence and allowed us to use their raft, that I finally got to meet John and Alex (two of L-man's kayaking friends) and for the donuts that Lance and Heather brought (boy did they taste good after a long day on the river!) And last but not least, I'm thankful that Arwen took an interest in sewing and sewed several yoyo's for me while we were in the car (the drive was about 6-7 hours one way!!).
So enough about my weekend, lets get on with the giveaway!
