Perhaps everything does also, and the San Juan River is currently having its turn as it runs high and wide, leaping and roaring. Ive almost stopped complaining about the mud that keeps me from my special walking wonderlands as I go down daily to the rivers edge to marvel. First, the expanse of ice beginning near the boat ramp and extending upriver as far as the Hat Rock began to sag and the river current struggled to escape.

Senior Willis scored 24 points as Monument Valley High won an important Region 13 basketball game by beating the Whitehorse High Raiders 54 to 40 before a home crowd on Thursday night. The Raiders kept it close for three quarters, and were behind by only one point at the third quarter mark, 32 to 33. But the Cougars went on a 21 to 8 run in the fourth quarter to win by 14 points.

It was a cold but euphoric group who packed up gear when they landed. Not as cold as they expected, young Scott Mitchell announced. The worst problem they had was the night they camped three miles upriver from the Hat and had to lug their gear up the sides of slabs of ice to get on the beach. Mitchell is now known as Domer. This was his first river trip and he hit the domes of two rocks as he navigated his four man (woman?) craft through 8 foot rapids. No problems? Uh - we did take on a little water, Domer said.
