I totally forgot to post this. school and work has kept me quite busy. my photo dedicated desktop died on me a while ago. I finally got an external case and pulled my hard drive out and was going through some pics from the narrows when I realized I hadn't posted a TR yet. Heck, i've barely spent any time on here lately. anyways, here goes - some written right after I got back, and some I finished up over the last week:
This is probably my last good trip for a while. This semester is going to keep me strapped down. My dad planned a narrows trip for June but we had to postpone it due to the high water. We rescheduled it for aug 27. I let the ole man plan everything and it was nice going on a trip where I wasn't doing all the work. My and my two brothers drove down on the 26th and were hit with some very dark clouds hanging over zion. We had some serious weather that night but man was it hot still.
My ole man invited some family, including some that are notorious for being slow and late. Foreshadowing. We had 11 day passes for the narrows and were plannng on being out of our camp by 5:30. We didn't get out till almost 7 and weren't on the trail till 8:30 (or somewhere around there). Strike 1.
Since I didn't do any planning or anything on this I didn't figure to worry about the physical condition of others. That may have been a mistake. It was clear from the beginning there as small group of us that were ready to rock and roll and then a slow group. However, for the first while we made great time. Till we hit the water. The few that had been on the narrows before said they've never seen water so high. Strike 2.
