Trip Reports

June 17 Upper Platte River

Published on 6/17/2011
Fred and Judy, John and Lois, Dean and Diane and their friend Katie, Bob, Tracie and Karen met at Veteran's Campground for the trip down to Deadstream Road. After we figured out the shuttle and moved cars, the group started down the river. We were all complaining that the weather man had promised sun in the afternoon yet it was still quite cloudy. Soon however, the sun came out and it turned into a beautiful afternoon!
The water was quite shallow in places and in the early sections of the river there were several "pay attention" spots but, there were no unplanned swims. After the paddle, several of us stopped for ice cream at JoMo's in Honor since no trip is complete without ice cream!
