Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Went to the Platte River before I left for Alamosa, CO.  Ended up being a lot of people puting in their rafts and kayaks for a trip down the river.   So, along with flowers, etc.,  I took a bunch of photos of people having fun : )

These people are just milling around at the put in (waiting on the rafters : )
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Someone testing their "eskimo roll" manuever.  He did make it all the way.
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > The inflatable kayak on the right is the type that Will and I took down the Poudre.  It's what I'd like to get some day.
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Close up.  Easy to pile in "stuff" (camping gear, food, etc.) in one of these compared to a kayak.  Of course, a raft holds even more, but is also bigger, heavier, etc.  Be nice to have both : )
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Wet suits, yes.  That water is very cold and it's not a "hot" day (although, it was nice).
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Looking downstream where they are headed.  I will eventually head down the trail myself.  It follows the river for about a mile before coming to an abrupt end.
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Perfect day for a spring trip on the water.

Packing the rafts on a nice sunny spring day.
Geoff Weatherford (geoffw) > Finally, the rafters get floating!
