Location: Specialty Appliance, Greenwood Village, CO.
Hosted By: River Deep Alliance and SCI HOP
Participants: Operation TBI, Ft. Carson WTB

Hosted by Speciality Appliance in Greenwood Village, CO.
Over the weekend, the River Deep Foundation and SCI HOP hosted a Wild Game Cooking class at Specialty Appliance in Greenwood Village, CO. Chef Leslie taught us some great recepies for trout, deer, chukar and ceviche. The bonus was that we got to sample all of the dishes. We had the treat of preparing all these dishes in the Speciality Appliance showroom in Greenwood Village, CO, which was amazing because we were using the best appliances available.  

Everyone in the class was treated to a copy of Chef Leslie Fangman's Wild Game cookbook. It was a fun day of learning and eating. A big thanks to Chef Leslie and Lori of Speciality Appliance

Float Trip & Fly Fishing on the Colorado River

8/22/2019

0 Comments

 
August 16-19th, 2019

Location: Float Trip & Fly Fishing on the Colorado River, Kremmling, CO.
Hosted By: River Deep Alliance and SCI HOP
Participants: Craig Hospital

Sponsored by Bob & Debbie Dye along with Blue Quill Angler, Breckenridge Outfitters, Jim Neihbereger, Jeremy Hyatt, Chip Keith, John Perizzolo, who donated their time, Andy at Highland Tavern in Denver, and Muddy Creek Cabins

We arrived last Friday afternoon in Kremmling, CO. We stayed at the Muddy Creek Cabins. Bob Dye, his guides and drift boats met us at 1:00PM. Some of the group went to a near by pond and fished from the boat, and the rest of the group enjoyed the scenery at the cabins.

Later in the afternoon we gathered at the picnic area for a barbeque treat consisting of elk burgers and some great side dishes. This was donated and prepared by Andy, owner of the Highland Tavern in Denver. After dinner, we gathered around the fire pit, roasted marshmelllows, and got to know one another. Saturday morning, we met up at the Moose Cafe for breakfast, and then back at the cabin to meet the guides and 5 drift boats at 9:00AM. The guides had all the fly rods rigged up and ready to go as most of our group is new to fly fishing. After some instruction and attempts at catching some trout, the group was excited to enjoy floating down the Colorado River.

The flies hit the river as everyone anxiously awaits a strike. It was a great day for everyone and fish were caught by all. After the float, we went back to the cabins for a short rest, and then headed into town for dinner. Afterwards, we were treated to Kremmling Demolition Derby. It was a great trip, thanks to Bob and Debbie Dye, Blue Quill Anglers, Breckenridge Outfitters, Jim Neihbereger, Jeremy Hyatt, Chip Keith, John Perizzolo, who donated their time, Andy at Highland Tavern in Denver, and Muddy Creek Cabins. 

​
We are already looking forward to next year.

Participants: 
Craig Hospital

What could be more fun and soothing than a pack of puppies. The staff and patients all gathered at T-Rec (Therapeutic Recreation Department at Craig Hospital), to play with the German Shorthair Pointer pups. Some of the pups sat in the laps of patients. It's hard to tell who is more relaxed, the pups or the people.

Some of the older pups are in full whacko mode and won't stop playing until exhaustion sets in. Either way, everyone is smiling. This is the second puppy day at Craig Hospital thanks to Stephanie MacLennan of Vahalla Hunt Club, we plan on doing many more.

Last Tuesday, the River Deep Foundation and SCI HOP arranged an amazing outing at the U.S. Air Force Academy Equestrian Center, Remount Foundation, in Colorado Springs, CO. It was so much fun. We had 10 veterans attend, and had the opportunity to learn more about the equine assisted learning. We learned how beneficial working with horses can be to those with PTSD and TBI's.

After spending some time grooming the horses and learning about equine assisted learning, our instructor Jeanne Springer, took us for a nice, long trail ride around the Air Force Academy grounds.

​Anglers of Honor at Lincoln Hills
The creek is clear, the temperature cool with some clouds, and the pond is full of trout. We gathered at the eco-center deck for coffee and a light breakfast. Next, we broke up into three groups with some receiving basic fly fishing, instruction. We headed to the creek and the ponds with our guides. Everyone manages to put a trout or two in the net, and just as important, many are learning a new sport and having a great time.
After a morning of fishing, we all gathered on the deck for lunch and fish stories. It's been a great day of fishing, learning, and making new friends. A big thanks to all guides, volunteers, staff and everyone who made this a great outing.

Participants:

​Puppy Therapy at Craig Hospital was an amazing example of how animals help us heal, stay calm, and bring unending joy. 14 puppies were invited to the Therapeutic Recreation Department at Craig Hospital. Patients, families, and staff spent hours loving and playing with German Shorthair puppies of various ages.   

There seemed to be a shared understanding of gentleness and compassion on both parts. With a full room of participants there was rarely a puppy that was not in someone’s arms. Lori and the staff at Craig Hospital make sure that everyone got a chance to have some puppy love.

This past Monday was an amazing night at the Cottonwood Center for the Arts in the Acrylic Pouring Art Class. Our Instructor, Al B Johnson, taught our class his secret recipe for having dazzling effects when working with acrylic pour painting. Each student had the opportunity to create at least two masterpieces to take home, by the end of the class.

Everyone had a great time working on their new techniques and hanging out with fellow veterans. Mr. Johnson gifted pieces of his art to some our participants. Thank you to the Cottonwood Center for the Arts, River Deep Foundation, and the volunteers who all made this happen.

Camping, Boating, Fishing and Hot Air Ballooning

July 26th - 27th, 2019

Location: Eleven Mile State Park, Lake George, CO.
Hosted By: River Deep Alliance and SCI HOP 
Participants: 
Operation TBI Freedom & Ft. Carson Warrior Transition Battalion
​
We had one hundred Veterans, family members, and volunteers gathered at Eleven Mile State Park, with nearly 40 campsites overlooking the lake. We had the Kast King pro staff and their bass boats ready to take people on the lake in search of trout. Kast King is also the group that supplies us with the Anglers of Honor fly rods and River Deep spinning rods. They always go the extra distance to help us. We also had a pontoon boat skippered by Mark Yevoli, who took groups out on the lake for sight seeting and fishing. Chris Dundas did the same with a skiff. The afternoon was spent setting up campsites, getting acquainted, some game playing for the kids, and enjoying the lake and mountains.   

​Later on in the day everyone gathered at the main campsite for some fantastic barbecue from Roosters Competition BBQ. After dinner we gathered around the campfire for storytelling, fish stories, and marshmallow roasting. It was a great day and we had another fun day planned Sunday, so it was time for everyone to return to their campsites for a good night of sleep.

We woke up with the sun on Sunday morning and had a short drive to the meadow where the Ballooning Society of Pikes Peak had breakfast waiting for us, along with fifteen balloons that took everyone for a ride. It's quite a sight to see the balloons launch, all different sizes, colors, and shapes. You can tell by the smiles after everyone's flight, what an awesome time we all had, not to mention the incredible views of South Park.

With everyone back on the ground, the pilots had another treat planned. It's the 'first-time-in-a-balloon' ritual that involves drinking champagne (or water), out of a cup without using your hands. We were treated to a brief talk on the history of hot air balloons. After that we were treated to barbecue by the Ballooning Society of Pikes Peak, who presented hand made quilts to all of the Veterans. They have been hosting the Celebration of Honor flight for years, and we can't thank them enough for the fantastic job they do honoring our Veterans.

It's been a fantastic weekend, and a big thanks to the many volunteers, organizations and people that made this weekend possible.

Location: Lincoln Hills, Blackhawk, CO.
Hosted By: River Deep Alliance and SCI HOP 
Participants: 
Craig Hospital & Operation TBI Freedom

​The sun is shining, the mountains are green and the creek is clear. We had a large group on Saturday, anxious to try their luck on the creek and pond. We had expert guides from the Anglers of Honor program. Most of the group were new to fly fishing and received instruction on casting, gear, and knots from the guides. We put the waders on and headed to the creek and pond with our guides. Family members and children were also on the pond trying their luck. We managed to put a few in the net, but more importantly everyone learned about fly fishing and had a great time.

At lunchtime, we gathered on the eco-center deck that overlooks the pond. One of our favorites, Jim N' Nick's BBQ, delivered a delicous meal for all to enjoy. It's been a wonderful, beautiful day. A huge thanks to all the guides, volunteers and everyone who helped make it a success.

Montana Fish & Float Trip at Camp BullWheel

June 15th - 19th, 2019

Location: Camp BullWheel, Ennis, MT.
Hosted By: River Deep Alliance and SCI HOP 
Participants: 
Operation TBI Freedom & Ft. Carson WTB

​We had soliders and Veterans from Ft. Carson and Operation TBI who floated on the Madison River, which is challenging this time of the year because of the run-off. Fortunately, Peter Pauwels and the Camp BullWheel guides know the river and where the fish are. We were on the river for three days in search of trout. The rest of the time we were treated to good food and conversation at Camp BullWheel.

The Montana trip was amazing! The people at Camp BullWheel had the best hospitality around. The town itself was a small county town, it was friendly and easy to navigate. Our favorite place to get souvenirs and drinks was Willie's Distillery. This was also a Veteran-ran business which made our guys feel right at home. Our trip was full of good times and great stories, with new life-long friends made. A big thanks to all the great people and guides at Camp BullWheel.

Anglers of Honor at Lincoln Hills
The river is running high and fast and the weather forecast predicted rain, so it's going to be a challenging day in the mountains, but no one seems to be worried. Everyone is at Lincoln Hills to fly fish, learn, and have a fun time. We started the morning with the fundamentals of fly fishing, next will be reviewing the gear, waiters and then pairing up with the guides. Some of the group will be fishing on the river and some will fish the ponds. The trout ended up in the nets and are released for another day. Everyone is having a wonderful time learning and fishing. Even a brief rain shower is ignored.

It's time for lunch and we are having some great BBQ brought to us at Lincoln Hills by Jim N' Nick's BBQ. It's been a great day and a big thanks to all the Anglers of Honor Guides and all the volunteers.

Turkey Hunt for Ft. Carson WTB - May 17-19, 2019

May 17-19, 2019

Location: Birdcity, Kansas
Hosted By: River Deep Alliance and SCI HOP 
Participants: 
Ft. Carson WTB

The River Deep Alliance and Denver SCI HOP recently hosted two turkey hunting trips in Bird City, Kansas. With generous efforts and support from the local community, ranchers, and farmers; Veterans from the Warrior Transition Battalion on Fort Carson were able to make the trip and successfully harvest amazing Kansas toms! The weekend started off with a meet and greet with local farmers that allowed military service members to utilize a total of over 35,000 acres of land for hunting. 

The first day of hunting started around 4:00 a.m.  A well-placed hay barrel blind yielded a handsome Tom that came in at just around 20 lbs. Sergeant Dennis Hooks, originally from southern Illinois, landed his first ever Tom with the help of local guide Colin Mulligan. Colin knew the terrain like the back of his hand and was able to put two more veterans on a birds throughout the weekend. There were many stories shared as well as new ones made over a gorgeous Kansas country backdrop. We look forward to more opportunities like this in the fall. A big thank you to the Bird City community for hosting a very memorable weekend.

Texas Wild Pig Hunt - June 7-10, 2019

Location: Vernon, Texas
Hosted By: River Deep Alliance and SCI HOP 
Participants: Craig Hospital and Operation TBI Freedom

​What a weekend we had stalking and hunting wild pigs in Vernon, Texas! We arrived in Vernon Friday evening and couldn’t wait to get out and start stalking the wild pigs. Our first veteran was able to take down a 130 lb. sow, shortly before dark. The weather during the late afternoon and early mornings was ideal for being out in the Texas heat.

Early Saturday morning, after breaking up into two groups, we headed out into the brush to do some more spotting and stalking. Shortly before noon, our second veteran was able to take a 150 lb. boar. That evening wasn’t as fruitful but everyone had a good time sneaking through the brush.

Sunday, our last day, we headed out at the crack of dawn to get jump on the day and hopefully a couple pigs for our remaining veterans. We started out early Sunday morning, and by the evening, the hunt is a bust for our group, but a great time was had by all.


A huge thank you to our host, Amy Duncan, and her to guides Zach and Andrew who helped our veterans all weekend with the hunt.

The River Deep Alliance just started our new program of equine assisted therapy/ recreational therapy, which provided veterans a chance to learn about equine assisted therapy. Jeanne Springer from Remount Foundation, and her staff started us with a simple herd observation and grooming exercise. We had a brief therapeutic discussion at the end of the exercise before getting ready for the trail ride. The trail ride was an amazing experience for all the participants even for those that had rode before.

Turkey Hunt, Kersey, CO., 4/13/19

Kersey Turkey Hunt
This property in Kersey Colorado is a gem! There is an abundance of wildlife, with the beautiful Platte
River running through the property. What a great way to open the spring turkey season. One veteran
was able to harvest his bird on the opening day, with snow still on the ground. A very nice Tom, his
biggest bird ever. Much of the rest of the day was spent calling and scouting the birds for our second
day hunt.

Our second day started with crossing the river through thick bank of fog, so thick we couldn’t see the
sand bar in the middle of the river. As we waited for First light, the woods came alive with turkeys calling
to each other through the thick fog. As the fog rolled rack, we could finally make out 2 jakes working
their way towards our decoys. This was the first turkey hunt for two of our vets, and both brought
home their birds. An incredible time was had by all!

A big thank you to our host Sean Mulligan, our guides Colin Mulligan and Conner Flansburg. We would
also like to Thank dreams of the wild

We've added an amazing new outing to our programing, fencing, thanks to Denver Fencing Center, the premier fencing school in Colorado. Soldiers, Vets, Craig Hospital participants, men, women and children are all excited to be here. Nathan, Maggie, and Chris will be our instructors. 

We start with the basics as we are all beginners, so there is a lot of learn. It's not like the old pirate movies. We are ready to suit up, grab a weapon and become a human pin cushion...just kidding you don't feel a thing. We paired up and the Fencing begins.
  
Everyone is having a great time. Whether casual or competitive, the staff will accommodate. A big thanks to the Denver Fencing Center, the participants, and all the volunteers.

Family Art Day at the Art Students League of Denver, Denver, CO., 3/30/19

4/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Today we have a variety of classes to enjoy such as mono-prints, hat making, felt pins and a collaborative tree mural. Everyone has an opportunity to experience all the categories! 

It's a fun day for both adults & kids, and there is a bonus; we get to go home with finished work. At lunch time, we are treated to a variety of delicious B.B.Q. from Jim N' Nicks. It's been a wonderful day and a big thanks to the Art Students League of Denver and their instructors, along with everyone else who made this possible.

Wild Game Cooking Class with Leslie Fangman, Greenwood Village, CO., 3/24/19

3/26/2019

0 Comments

 
Our instructor, Leslie Fangman, is going to teach us how to cook what we harvest. She will be cooking up some pheasant dishes, a borscht recipe and a wild boar pulled pork dish. 

The kitchen showroom at Specialty Appliance is unbelievable. It's hard to tell if the class is more interested in learning how to cook, or just wanting to taste the dishes. Either way, everyone is having a great time and if we forget the recipes, we are all given a wild game cook book written by our instructor, Leslie Fangman!

It's been a wonderful day and a huge thanks to Specialty Appliance and Leslie Fangman.
