The remainder of the summer was spent camping and paddling in Colorado, North Carolina and Arkansas with my dad. During our first drive west, I took advantage of some fun play waves in Salida. I also had the great opportunity to paddle through Brown's Canyon; part of the Arkansas Headwaters near Buena Vista. Fibark 2009 was the destination of the second trip to Salida, Colorado. . We viewed some great creek races and playboat competitions, kayaking has definately been taken to a new level within the last few years, and this festival was full of boaters pushing the limit of what can be done in a small plastic boat... Enjoy these photos of the rest of my summer in 2009.

Before we headed back to Arkansas, we made a stop in to the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins. A little early in the day for boozin it up, but we buzzed around and took advantage of the free brew anyway.
