The Dixie Research group headed into mystery canyon on the 18th. It was an amazing place though we did not find many frogs. Well...ok just 1 :ne_nau:
On the 3rd to last rap i was a little concerned about the webbing for the anchor. It is in Direct sunlight much more than other anchors and people who go should be prepared to replace it.
On the upside after rapping into the narrows with all the people gauking a lady asked me how we retrieved our gear after we are down. I promptly told her we have a trained bird that flys back up and retrieves our gear for us!
Here are some pics for ya
