7/22/2012: Arkansas R., Brown's Canyon: Fisherman's/Ruby to Hecla

With: Eric Hopley, Chris Kelly
 
Chris loaned me one of his canoes, and Nanette loaned Eric her Aire Lynx inflatable kayak, and we boated the Brown's Canyon section of the Arkansas with Chris and members of his hometown club, the Misourri Whitewater Ass'n. For someone who had never been on whitewater in his life, Rick did remarkably well; only one swim and one pin. Chris and Nanette prepared us a terrific steak dinner and we stayed with them a second night.
