I'll be living in Yuma for a couple of months, starting next week sometime, then back to the mtn. for summer's season of hiking and gardening. While there I plan on doing a multi-day canoe trip down the lower Colorado River, hopefully starting as far north as Blythe. Since I have done only a little canoe camping in the past, I need all the info I can get. Thanks for telling us about this info site!
