My first year as a permit holder on the San Juan. Morning sunshine with coffee, warm breeze while floating doen the river. Mom and baby goats chewing tall grass on the rivers edge giving us a look as we float on by. A flap of wings above while a blue heron drifts over head. Rocky red walls kiss the blue sky and a fish jumps near by. Sunsets on the sandy rivers edge with a clink of a horseshoe either a ringer. Time spent with friends and family connect at the same time as disconnecting…life slows and we all float on…
