Yesterdays Float

I got on the river yesterday. A town run on the Animas from 32nd to the new Dalabeta Park. It felt great. My last trip to the river was the trip we took to the Dolores. On this trip I paddled my C-1. It was good to be back in the little boat and I was amazed that I remembered my roll. I made sure to get in plenty of practice. The stretch below 4 Corners is really nice.

I do have to say, despite how much I love being on that river, I couldn't help but notice all of the Russian olive along the banks. You can see the many carcases of the trees we killed during our campaign 2 years ago but there are still more out there. Many of them on private property. Even off of the river there are many trees that were used for landscaping. There is lots of work to be done removing this invasive from the river corridor. Fortunately there is little evidence of Tamarisk through town.

The river is running great. Get out and play.
