Colorado 2018

I somehow neglected to do a blog post about this when I did it... so I am adding it now.  

In the summer of 2018 I headed to Colorado to visit a good friend of mine, Rico... It was his birthday but somehow I got treated to a day of kayaking at the Dillon Reservoir in Frisco, Colorado.  

I had been past this Reservoir one other time with Rico, in the winter on our way to Breckenridge....There was a lot of snow so this was a lot different.  

I was so excited to get the opportunity to paddle in Colorado!  

The rental place had Old Town Loons!  I was very happy!

The scenery was beautiful.  

We had gotten there early in the morning and it was a bit cool... but warmed up quickly.  

We pretty much had the place to ourselves when we launched... when we came back lots of people were getting on the water.  I enjoyed the solitude.  

We got out at one point to stretch... and I had to do adventure arms!! 

I am grateful that Rico loves kayaking as well and was thoughtful enough to take me on this adventure!

Apparently I was pretty comfy! 

It was beautiful... But... I didn't see any wildlife... I enjoyed this a lot, but not yet ready to move to the Rockies! 

 This is me with Rico After our paddle. 

Paddling is a great way to travel and see other parts of the country.  So far... I have paddled in Maine, NH, Colorado, and Oregon... I would say I have a lot of states left to enjoy!!

One day I will get to the Pacific Northwest to the San Juan Islands and paddle with orcas!
