Location: Art Students League of Denver Hosted by: River Deep Foundation Participating Groups: Ft. Carson SRU, Craig Hospital, VA Art Class - Tooling Foil Fish What a fun class learning how to work with metal! We learned to trace a pattern—in this case a fish—onto a thin piece of metal and then how to add more detail such as scales and fins to give it more dimension. We then added a patina finish to the entire foil fish which gave it some old world charm. A big thanks to our instructor, Amy, and the Art Students League of Denver for making this a fun and inspirational class.

Location: Kremmling, CO Hosted by: River Deep Foundation Participating Groups: Craig Hospital and Operation TBI Float and Fish Trip The weather was warm and the water was cool. What a day we had floating down and fly fishing on the Colorado River! Not only did we get to see some beautiful country, we also watched bald eagles and golden eagles doing some fishing as well. What a sight! With all the recent rain, the river was pretty muddy and madeit a little harder to catch fish. Regardless, we all managed to catch some fish with lots of story telling and smiles to go around. A big thanks to Bob and Deb Dye and the other fishing guides they lined up, who all volunteered to make this amazing trip possible.

Location: Elevenmile Reservoir, Lake George, CO Hosted by: River Deep Foundation Participating Groups: Operation TBI Freedom, Ft.

Veterans and their families had campsites with beautiful views of the lake and mountains. On Friday, our activities included boating, fishing, and hiking, and a chance for everyone to become acquainted. In the evening we gathered together for dinner prepared by our friend Marty from Roosters Competition BBQ. With BBQ and camping going hand-in-hand, it was the perfect delicious dinner for our hungry crew. Saturday we rose early and left for the hot-air balloon launch site. Rides were provided compliments of Pikes Peak Ballooning Society. Not only did they provide the beautiful balloons and pilots, they also fed our group! A big thank you to them for their generosity.

Location: Lincoln Hills Hosted by: River Deep Foundation Participating Groups: Operation TBI Freedom, Craig Hospital, VA, Ft. Carson SRU Fly Fishing - Anglers of Honor We had an enthusiastic group of veterans and Craig Hospital grads ready to learn fly fishing! The experienced guides from Front Range Anglers started with teaching the fundamentals of gear, knots and casting and then providing further instructions in the crystal clear stream. The trout could be seen rising to the surface to snack on the bugs, making it even more enticing! The fly fishing continued until it was time for lunch which was provided by Gondolier Restaurant. During lunch, everyone had plenty of fishing stories to share. It was a great day made special thanks to Lincoln Hills, Front Range Anglers and Gondolier for a tasty Italian lunch.
