Also new pictures and videos from some of the things that have happened the last few days.
The Colorado River was running at 94,000 cfs this year and on a normal year it is about 30,000 cfs this time of the year. The Confluence of the Green River and the Colorado is in a remote area of Canyon Land National Park. The only way to see it and Cataract Canyon is by air or by raft. You can see from the photos a difference in the color of the water at the confluence. Some of the other pictures are of Dead Horse Point, Island in the Sky, The Maze, Arches National Park, the pot ash ponds (bright blue). You can click on each picture to enlarge it and see the water better.

  2. The video of Kathy is great! So funny. It's fun to see what you guys have been up to and the pictures of your new truck.

    You should create a new post for your new stuff... that way we can do comments on those specific pictures. Also, I think some of the videos they take me to a large image of a picture instead of playing video. Is that my computer or does it do that for you too?

    Give me a call when you get a chance!

  4. Looking good dad! I love that you're doing this blog because even though I live 15 mins. away I still miss out on a lot of the stuff that you guy are doing.

    Ex: I had no idea Kathy came out! She is quite the speed demon down those Alpine slides though. It looks like you guys had fun.
