WINKELMAN RUN TRIP REPORT - April 30, 2009

Photo contributions by Ron and Norma Miller

Trip initiated by Chip Arnberg. Participants were Dagmar Cushing and Dana, Tommy James, Ron and Norma Miller, Steve Moore, Bob Schoen, Mike and Sheila Shea and Kristina Stramler. Great weather, some strainers and one cow fence to maneuver through running at about 635 cfs up to mild class II. One rattlesnake was encountered at our lunch spot just as Tommy stepped out but avoided getting bit.
