Day 2 - El Vado Ranch to Ponderosa Camp

The river trip itself was anti-climatic. No issues. Big and fast and over in what seemed like hours. My guess is the 32 miles could have been done in six hours with steady rowing. We stretched it out to two and a half days. Every low spot covered in water and there were few places to stop. The kayakers had Aragon camp so we quickly scouted Aragon Rapid and kept heading down river. Ponderosa camp was the overnight site of choice and it's a nice spot. A huge downside was that the receding water had left the parking spot a muddy mess and unloading was a slog.
