 We carry our river gear from one hotel to another |
 we take a 2 hour bus ride and |
 face our raft |
 we fill a raft, 20 of us and three guides; the pilot takes us across clear water |
 that soon becomes full |
 of sediment from a tributary |
 we pass the bridge at Lee's ferry |
 and begin facing |
 rapids and their splashes |
 we enjoy lunch in the shade of an overhang |
 and cool off with a bucket head when necessary |
 visiting a tiny miners hole |
 we return to the boat |
 facing more rapids |
 splash |
 splash |
 you can look now helen |
 passing spings |
 and visiting redwall cavern |
 where we see fossils |
 a student was diagnosed with "possible chicken pox"; after much consulting with doctors and others, he was allowed on the trip; here he shows his pox |
 another rapid |
 that was a good splash |
 and there were many others |
 digging for a long ago proposed dam |
 a deer |
 unloading the raft |
 setting up camp |
 serveral of us scramble a side canyon |
 it has great views |
 and is very narrow |
 the sun is setting |
 camp for the night |
 pre-dinner exercise |
 we dine |
 campfires are not allowed; but there are other ways |
