San Juan

We took the boys down the San Juan again last week, along with most of the Murdock Clan (except Mom and Kell and Creeds Family). We drove down to the Mexican Hat on Monday through a snowstorm in Monticello, but ended up having great weather.

The Navajo Dam is only letting out about 500 cfs this year so we were getting worried about not having enough water, but the little heat wave we got right before we went got the melt going on the Animas which gave us about 3000 cfs to float on.

The first night we got the kids favorite camp about 10 miles downstream from Mexican Hat, the second camp was at Ross Rapid which we have never camped at before, but with the large beach and shallow eddy it may be the kids new favorite.
