CR Johnson birthday raft trip. August 10th

I found this over on freeskier and I didn't see a thread about it on NS so I figured i could help spread the word. I live in CO but would love to make it, hopefully some of you NS'ers can take advantage of this awesome opportunity to remember CR and help a good cause.
