There we were, in a yellow school bus bumping down the Denali Park Road headed towards the Wonder Lake campground....
One of my favorite new things to do in the summer is paddle board!! When we first got ours, about a year or two ago, I could barely actually stand up on it ... LOL. Fortunately, I've gotten much better at it, which was needed for this paddle day near Telluride....
The woman we rescued in the below story wrote a book about her experience. She asked me to write a chapter for her book, which I happily did. Sadly, it didn't make the final cut, so I'm adding it here for your reading pleasure. I was three quarters the way to...
