Rio Chama 2012 - Aragon Rapid

















Ten of us launched our boats onto the Rio Chama at Cooper's El Vado Ranch on August 16.  After spending two nights at Aragon Camp, we reloaded our boats and headed down the river.  But we first had to negotiate Aragon Rapid.  The rapid had been changed significantly since our trip the prior year, and been made much more challenging, by a large boulder which had broken free from the cliff face above and fallen into the river.  A few of us decided to portage the rapid, but most of us ran the rapid in fully loaded boats.


Mike and the Dagger Dimension were up to the challenge.

















Zoltan made a nice spin move above the meat of the rapid, and showed off by going through backwards.  I meant to do that!
