Nestled in the wild, wonderful wild west, the state of Colorado stretches out like a giant, sleeping dragon covered in green blankets and white snow caps. This great dragon of a state, with its spectacular spiky spine of majestic mountains, is home to a group of extraordinary kids who have traded their bicycles for boats, their skateboards for canoes. These aren't your run-of-the-mill, everyday youngsters, oh no! These are the Colorado Canoeing Crusaders! The leader of the Colorado Canoeing Crusaders is a sprightly character by the name of Captain Caddis. With his freckled face, wild hair that mirrors the untamed Colorado rivers, and a laugh that sounds exactly like a babbling brook, Captain Caddis is quite the character. He wears a colorful life jacket and a hat that's always on backwards (or forwards, depending on which way he's canoeing that day). Captain Caddis and his crew of Canoeing Crusaders paddle and splash their way through Colorado's twinkling streams and roaring rivers, having the time of their lives. You see, in Colorado, rivers aren't just rivers. No, they're silver serpents twisting through the landscape, hiding all sorts of thrilling adventures and funny stories. And oh, the tales these young canoeists could tell! There's the time Captain Caddis lost his paddle and had to row with a giant pickle. Or the hilarious incident involving a mischievous beaver, a rogue wave, and a canoe full of squirrels. And let's not forget the day they all capsized and emerged with seaweed mustaches, impersonating old-time sea captains! Yes, these Colorado kids make every boating trip a belly-laughing, splish-splashing, unforgettable adventure.
