Most are just lazy days on the river. I only sat out one rapid to get photos of our group. I do have a few of people I don't know though. I will post some more when I get a chance to go through them. Most cameras on the trip were ruined. I was happy all my stuff made it though!
Really? Not enough precautions were taken?Quote:

I just started reading The Very Hard Way, a biography about Bert Loper (an old time Colorado River boatsman), and now I'm itching to go run some rivers. Do you know if his "Grand Canyon" boat is still down near Mile 24 1/2 Rapid?
don't you mean "silt hit the fan"? :haha:Quote:

There was a metal boat up on the rocks at one camp/rapid, but we joined the trip at Phantom Ranch which I think is below that.Quote:

A recent radio show I heard said that it was still there.Quote:

Falling out during a rapid
WoW! While I was out 'dinkin' around in the desert, letting scorpions knaw at my knuckles, chasing chuckawallas, and staving off spring sheep...you were busy taking pictures, amazing at that, of the moment and capturing them forever. These are some of the BEST I have ever seen! Those pictures put me at the helm and even in the bow as I'm about to be swallowed into the depths!!!!!!! :hail2thechief: :2thumbs:Quote:
