June 21: Golden, Colorado (just west of Denver).

We are in Clear Creek City Park N39° 45.197' W105° 13.193' in Golden, Colorado. The campground is located on the south side of 10th street at the end of the road. Clear Creek City Campground is one of the nicest (location wise) campgrounds you can stay in (our opinion). located on Clear Creek 3-blocks from downtown Golden. They have paved interior roads with small backin sites (mature trees are so wonderful); 50-amps, water and sewer, $28.91 per-night 303-278-1437. There is a 2-week max stay before you have to leave the park and they do not take reservations.

Rafting down Clear Creek west of Golden, Colorado

In Clear Creek Canyon west of Golden we were able to watch rafters negotiate the rapids of Clear Creek.

If a few miles Clear Creek will flow through Golden, Colorado and another type of activity will be taking place on Clear Creek.

Back in Golden at the RV-Park we watched kayakers and knee-boarders, perform stunts and maneuver in this awesome chute on Clear Creek.

The performer on the right is on a knee board that I usually see pulled behind a ski-boat.

This knee boarder seems concerned about the kayaker about to enter the chute with him.

Beaver munching away on willows in Clear Creek

This beaver was happily munching away on the creek side willows less than 100 feet from all the activity in the creek.

I took this picture of the kayakers patiently waiting their turn to enter the "chute" and perform from the same place I was viewing the beaver. Talk about a shared water resource.
