Over the Fourth of July, we had to (got to) go to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area so I could do some Forest Service work. We camped at Red Canyon and Mustang Ridge, kayaked from Sunny Cove, toured the reservoir in style in a State Park Ranger boat with John the State Park Ranger and Ali the Forest Service Ranger, and the highlight of the trip was a trip down the beautiful Green River in a Forest Service dory with Shaun the BLM river guide and his girl Becky. It was a great but short trip to a place we never would have thought to go.

First boat-in campsite on the Green. Look at that crystal-clear water!

Bad video of our first rapid. Although it was only a Class II (or maybe even a 1+), it was exhilarating!
Our dory at the take-out, near John Jarvie Ranch.
