GOING TOOBING?

If you're headed to the Arkansas River near Pueblo to go toobing, as we suggested today in The Gazette, beware we gave you a wrong turn in the directions.


If you're headed south in I-25 you'll turn WEST on U.S. 50 to get to Pueblo Boulevard. Head east, as one toober who drive down this morning says, and you'll hit Kansas.



Another reader is asking for info about the trip below the Nature Center. Specifically about the low-head dam Dave mentioned in an earlier post.

Anyone know more about how dangerous that is, or have other tips for the trip beyond the Nature Center?

Here's a way to cool off

Head to the river!

Gaz writer Andy Wineke hits the rapids every chance he can get. Usually in a kayak. But he'll focus a bit more on rafting - specifically on the Arkansas through Browns Canyon - in Friday's Out There. Don't miss his blow by blow look at the river with Stew Pappenfort, who's worked as a ranger and guide in the area for 31 years.

Don't that photo just make ya go "awwwww."
