8/11/2016: Arkansas R., Brown's Canyon: Fisherman's/Ruby to Hecla

	With: Sheila Chapelle, Jon Hitchings, Karen Egbert, Jerome Rifkin
	Up early again and we ran Brown's Canyon. The only carnage was me at Zoom Flume, a rapid that has never before given me trouble. Shuttle had been arranged so that my van was one of the takeout vehicles, so Jon & Karen and Jerome took off northward through BV for Boulder, and Sheila and I headed southward to get onto US-50 eastbound, heading home. It had been Sheila's friend Greg Smith who suggested we try using US highways instead of the Interstate system, and through eastern Colorado and Kansas it was a great idea; I loved looking at small-town America as we never see it from the Interstates. In western Colorado US-50 shared the roadbed with US-400 until they diverged and we stayed with US-400. We found inexpensive camping ($5.00) in Syracuse, Kansas, at what might be a city or county park named Sand Dunes Park, on the south side of Sam's Pond just south of US-400. That night winds reached to near-gale force, but Sheila's stout tend stood strong, and by morning the air was calm again.
