    • Rafting Day

      Rafting day you will probably want to wear a bathing suit. Guys, no Speedos please. :) You will have to wear shoes of some kind. This can include an old pair of sneakers, water shoes, Teva type sandals, or scuba booties which are included. NO FLIP FLOPS or bare feet. You might also want to wear a cheap pair of sunglasses... ones you don't care about losing. Bring your sunscreen and wear it! You don't want Mr. or Mrs. Melanoma to come visiting do you?

    • Canon City

      is a decent sized mountain town. There is a Super Wal-Mart and a couple of Grocery stores. It has plenty of places to eat, and even an internet café. So if you want to wait to get some of your supplies here such as groceries, you should be okay. It is about 10 miles or so from where we are camping, which equates to about a 20 minute drive when you factor in dirt roads and such. There is large prison (Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility) right in the middle of town. As you pass the prison, along the cliff face you will see an old guard tower that is pretty old. The prison was originally constructed in 1871. There have been many prison breaks from this facility, so be careful who you pick up. ;)
