Day 2: Ponderosa Camp to Mathers Hole

Well before we decided to upend our lives and move to Minnesota, we made plans to raft the Yampa River with our friends Wayne and Diane and his sister (Bonnie) and her husband (Jim). This trip was to start on May 30^th. We began our move on March 15^th and – despite the usual glitches and forced errors – were done with it (almost miraculously) by May 27^th. Two days later, we lit out for Utah, leaving behind a house full of unopened boxes, a somewhat bewildered cat, and a lot of moving generated anxiety.
