Here's some food for thought for those contemplating paddling on Boulder

Hi Scott! :-)

I still wonder, who would *want* to paddle on Boulder Creek east of 75th
street?
When I paddled Boulder Creek, I think the takeout was at 39th street. Is there
any
whitewater between 39th and 75th, moreover any WW east of 75th? ;-)

This is the same question I've been asking myself lo these many years.
Evidently, people like to experience the natural area and see the cliffs,
and floating through is the lazy way of doing so. I can't say I blame them
for wanting to see the area, curiosity is natural thing. However, just
because they want to see the place doesn¹t mean they have any right to do so
without my permission.


True, with the way the laws are in Colorado. It's not that way in Missouri however,
as we've discussed before. In Missouri, the landowner does not own the surface water
and any boater is well within his legal rights to boat though any private property,
and I believe can even be on the shore up to the high water mark (wherever that is!)

Of course, it's also hopefully common knowlege never to argue legal points with a
landowner with a gun too! ;-)


we got to meet!! :-) )

Someday soon, I hope.

Probably never gonna happen Scott, Unfortunately. I've been unemployed pretty much
since 2002, and am currently trying to get into a nursing program to become an RN,
so I can *get* a job! So my Colorado trips have not been happening for me since,
yano? :-( And I don't see them resuming in the near future either. :-( :-( :-(
