Quote from: freebrickproductions on Today at 01:25:44 AMIt might be mentioned already, or not that surprising to some folks, but today I learned that the Arkansas River begins in Colorado.

On our last Colorado trip, we took a boat trip on the Arkansas River from Canon City. At the time I just assumed it was a different river with the same name. Not until a while later did I discover it was actually the same river.

I do like the two Colorado rivers, though...
