Zero|DPX at Shacknews rocks. (no it wasn’t a letter bomb, I think)
I checked my mail the other day after neglecting to do so for a few days. I was shocked to find an unusual and unexpected package that looked like this.

The River Wild.
A couple of weeks ago I went rafting with Carrie and our friend Alicia outside Buena Vista, CO. We hit the Arkansas River with Noah’s Ark - the best rafting company bar none, I have ever rafted with. Fortunately our guide was another good friend. Kate, you are the best river guide pretty much ever.
