South Fork Buckwater Draw May 12

May 12 2012

Kimberly, Shaylee, Kessler and I decided to make a quick canyoneering trip to South Fork Buckwater Draw. We chose this canyon because it can be done on a day trip from our house.

We made our way to the canyon before dropping down the steep slope and into the canyon. The action started immediately and we had a lot of fun with all the down climbs and the two rappels. The kids did great on the downclimbs and their skills have increased much in the last year. After enjoying the canyon it was time to pay the piper and we had to climb out of the canyon. We were tired by the time we reached the vehicle again.

The photos will tell the story.

Those kids of yours look like they're rapidly increasing in their skills. Good to see them again. A lot of nice shots of them doing some good moves.
Your photos make this canyon look even nicer than others I have seen before. Since we're not too far away, will have to add this one to our future agenda. :2thumbs:
