8/5/2000: N. Platte R., Routt access (CO) to Sixmile Gap access (WY)
With: Jon Hitchings, Karen Egbert | ||
We put on the Northgate Canyon section of the North Platte River, but it was so low that after about half a mile I carried my boat back to the put-in, and met Jon and Karen at the takeout. This was the end of the first boating phase of my trip. Jon and Karen headed home to Boulder, and I went exploring the Medicine Bow National Forest. For the next few days I would continue sleep in my van every night, wherever I could find a quiet patch of public land to park, and cook dinner in camp of in any convenient rest area. |
