Dropped in at Breakfast King; Had to jump river at 6th Avenue
What better way to celebrate independence than to go urban rafting down a famously polluted river that runs through central Denver! When we did this years ago, I was ill-prepared in a pool chair made of mostly netting…going down white water rapids and getting pathogens in my pisto. This year, with the memory of back scrapes in mind, we floated down the mostly shallow water in a 2 seater inner tube with backrests and a cooler – more suited for the occasional bumps and spills. No holiday crowds, awe-inspired looks from bicyclists on the trail, and time to contemplate urban waste artifacts…let freedom ring!
