30+ miles on South Platte River near Fort Morgan in eastern Colorado: http://users.frii.com/uliasz/weblog/index.html One more long run before Texas Water Safari, shallow water, tough paddling, a river full of wildlife. I was shooting pictures with my Pentax Optio WP, but colors came quite washed out due to harsh light during the day.

The opening page of your site is really breathtaking. I was very interested to read your account about the farmer who had put two fences across the South Platte River to keep people off that water during waterfowl nesting season. I wonder if he takes those fences down in June. It's ironic that the same organization he used (Ducks Unlimited) to justify his actions want to buy your photos of that stretch for their magazine. White water kayakers - especially creekboaters - face this sort of activism a lot. One local creek, featured in at least one paddling guide sold at REI, is routinely fenced by landowners/farmers. This (and the ticks) has pretty much kept me off it. As far as I know, the law varies from state-to-state about who can fence which waterways and I think that organizations that fight for the rights of paddlers should be encouraged and supported. Does anyone have a list of such organizations? Is WWTA active in this area?
