Our paddle on the San Juan

 Kathy's feet demonstrate a constant of the San Juan. It carries huge amounts of silt and looks just like chocolate milk. The beaches are mud and the fine silt sand gets everywhere. Pretty on her fine thin feet though, isn't it?

 You can also find comfort under some of the beautiful old Fremont cotton trees...

 Most people carry all their water which makes for a heavy boat. Dale came up with a double filter system that worked well though.

 We had some nice hikes! Sometimes we were with Dale and Kathy and sometimes just us threading our way along. I was moving slowly with a pained back but it never kept me far from appreciation of where we were and the beauty of place and my companions.
