WHITE WATER RAFTING/OFF THE BUCKET LIST!

      Someone was discussing the other day a particular river that they had gone tubing on in Arizona. I have never done that on any size river, but, one thrill will always be white water rafting down the Arkansas River in Colorado.

      It was about 10 years ago  and on the last leg of our trip to Colorado. It was near Canon City, southwest of Colorado Springs. The Arkansas River flows below the majestic Royal Gorge. It was an eight man raft and was medium degree of difficulty run, but was a thrill for this guy who was in his 60's. And, to look up and view the walls of the Royal Gorge area was simply breathtaking. One I will never forget. It was right up there with snow skiing for thrills. Sky diving is not on my short bucket!
