As always, Dan eloquently describes the entire trip to a T...especially the part about the Nelson brothers going "Sally" on us. :roflol:

Great pics Dan! It was truly an awesome weekend. I've done both of these canyons many times but enjoyed them the most on this last trip. The "damage" shots are brutal. I think we should post some of those after every trip. Maybe even start an annual contest with a prize for the canyoneer/canyonette who suffered the most "damage"? Again, great weekend!! :2thumbs:

"Canyonator" -- I laughed out loud when I read that -- thanks. It's not my fault. Dan told me to give him a hard look. My helmet came on just after that pic was taken by the way.

Man you were quick to assume that I was referring to you. :haha: One day we need to do a canyon again. I still owe you for showing us through Zero G prior to you publishing the route. That was fun. :2thumbs: I now have a rope bag so I don't look so disheveled.

Except the "Canyonator" would not have his XP on the slow side, with a double rope, with beefy leather gloves. :lol8:

:lol8: Yes, that does appear comical. Man you've an eye for detail.

Hey when are you gonna come out and do some canyons with the rest of us? There have been three uutah canyon trips this year, and no response from Mr. Card. What gives? Why so exclusive? We don't bite.

Sounds good :2thumbs: I'll be back in the canyons in about anther month. Probably be doing a bunch more Moab stuff this winter. I have a bunch of items on my radar, just need to find some more time.....

Not exclusive. Just crazy busy. I think my canyon trips may be history for a month more. 4 kids in soccer at present. I have also been all over the state with different cases. I really have looked at my schedule each time y'all have done these trips. Problem is, too many committments or scheduled hearing. Yes it is time I get out more. Thanks for the invite. And about the biting, I've had my shots so I really have no excuse.

If you need a noob to carry your ropes I am your man. I need some in canyon experience as you have read in my Spry TR. :haha:

C'MON!!!! only one Nelson went sally on us. I was game and spent most of the night trying to convince him to go. Though i will admit it was nice getting home around 1:00. I would not have liked getting out of there at 5 then driving all the way to vegas. I loved the canyon and am posting some of the pics i have from that day.
