Hello from Western CO

[RedSquirrel]

Hello,
Been enjoying watching the forums for a while and just signed on.
My friends and I paddle mostly the west slope of the Rockies and the desert rivers of Utah. We are also rafters, but enjoy the simplicity and elegance of a good canoe most of all. Hoping to make it up to Canada, Northeast or the Great Lakes region one of these days, but we love our western rivers.

I enjoy finding older royalex boats and rehabbing them for our little expeditions.
The fleet:
O.T. Appalachian
O.T. Disco Scout
Dagger Legend 16
Dagger Legend 15
Bluehole Sunburst I
O.T. H2Pro
Dagger Passage
O.T. Discovery 174

Welcome. I used to live in Colorado.
The West Slope is the one to live on.

Welcome. Always nice to have an experienced rehabber and, especially, one that lives where I am less likely to roam (I'll roam vicariously)

Lots of royalex repair questions here lately if you care to add your 2 cents on any / all.
