Launching onto the Yampa River at about 5600 cfs!

And look who we found - Trevor!

Our first campsite - Tepee Hole.

Getting ready to unload the boats. The site is rather steep, so class IV firelines to get gear up to camp! (Firelines are where we pass gear from the boats up to camp.)

We got a great little spot for our tent.

Does Zach Downes (Partygrass bass player) love us? He stayed home this trip awaiting his first baby.

Trevor, our longtime river bud, is converting Jillian quickly!

Pixie brought monkeys for everyone! Three years ago, Zach and Dan from Carson City brought a little stuffed monkey named Juniper to represent the rest of their families. Juniper rode with about everyone that trip and has since become the band mascot. She is often hanging from her PFD off Pixie’s mic stand to this day .

Pixie took the time to name every monkey with some Partygrass word and write their names on the back of their PFDs in Adrift tradition. Steve’s is Ski and Jess’s is Pickles RIP (because we couldn’t find Pixie’s usual PFD “Pickles” this trip).

First night of music, and Chris’s drum box worked well.
