Nope, living in Boulder. Let me know if you are planning on running anything sorta mellow as I have not been in my boat since January. Not sure I want to jump right into some burly IVs.

Thanks for responding!

Guy from Maine...once Dowd chutes gets to 2.0' or so, go to the put-in around 5pm...lots of folks (probably the easiest way to start networking). Also vail town WW park....some people are always there when its running. There is plenty of III-IV around here (and when it comes it will be fast and furious)

Hey Nick,
I moved to Golden CO from Philly PA back in September and I am looking for folks to paddle and raft with too. What outfitter did you work for on the kneehigh? We might know some of the same folks. I live a few blocks from the whitewater park in Golden so drop me an email if you want to hook up. I boated year round in PA but this being Colorado I haven't been in the water since August....not sure what my skill level is now since kayaking is beginning to seem like an alien concept. Anyway, once the water is up I hope to get back in the groove. I've got a 13 ft raft too so if you can get a crew together I would be up for a trip to the Ark or Poudre, Lemme know. Ciao

Worked for Pocono Whitewater. Met the owners son in college, and they hooked me up last summer with a sweet job, and lots of trips. Great people up there. Shame the river isn't that great.

I heard about the white water park in Golden, and I am dieing to check it out when it starts running. Once it starts running let me know, and I'll be sure to head there. I'd love to paddle with a fellow Penciltuckyian. Keep in touch! Later.

Hey Jp and Nmalozzi, you guys have room on the newbs to colorado team for a chick? I am stuck in boulder (ok not that bad) but i can't find a damn person who paddles! sigh.... I have a van that can hold six yaks and all our gear and I am more then happy to play shuttle for a beer and 'bro on the river'. Shoot me an email and I would love to hit the water sometime.

I'll be looking to get out on some easier stuff this spring, as I have an injured foot that will keep me from doing stuff that involves much hiking and scouting. Starting soon, I'd be up for some trips to the Ark, or maybe even an early multi-day on the Dolores.

Ditto on the easier stuff, I would be up for a trip or two if you have the space. I am going to be in Colorado until may 17th or so, and I would love to take a few big trips. That and I am up for running some day trips if you are interested.

Sweet! Let me know, and as long as I'm free (which most likely I am) I'm down!

I am doing laps at the res like 3 times a week waiting for the rivers to run if you ever want to join me.

Hey bro. My name is Mike. I've "guided" on the Lehigh for the past 2 years with Challengers. It was a good time to be on the East Coast... the Ottawa is close ... and there are some great creeks when it rains.

Good to see you made the smart move to Colorado though

I'd be happy to boat with you this Spring/Summer.

Give me a shout when the rivers start running.
