Oh yeah, hiking. :lol8:Quote:

The last of my almost 1000 shots from the trip was of Jack Tillinghast, who invited Bo and I on this private trip. It was a blast!!!
I am slowly going through the slow water photos.....
I really like this one of OC in his Dory early in the morning... shooting into the sun.
Very cool - atmospheric! :2thumbs:Quote:

Thanks Scott :five:
Few more. :nod:
I have so many :lol8:
These are great!!! Its these types of trips that you come home with hundreds of photos... :popcorn:
Yes, but I kept getting warnings to put away the camera or it would be ruined. I was lucky! Many others on the trip lost all photos if not their camera itself!Quote:

OC's Dory
Tanya and Bo, you made my early Sunday morning with the pictures and stories. I somehow had missed this but nothing like having that first cup of coffee and reading reports like this.
Lave Falls is amazing. I've only viewed it from Toroweap and it looks so docile. I hasd a friend that's a river runner from Oregon out there last year and he really enjoyed watching with binos as the rafters picked there line.
Off to Zion.

The "fun boat" .... my boat buddies... Jim and Bill
We laughed non-stop..... except for a few moments to stop and see if anyone was getting mad that we were disturbing the quiet of the canyon :mrgreen:
Couple more shots
That is what Bo said when we hiked down the Lava Falls "Trail".... he was expecting more! But after going through some and feeling that water engulf those boats...... it looked much much much much BIGGER!!!!Quote:

Wow Tanya, you should come on my next trip to photograph the action! :nod: :2thumbs:
That would be a blast! I think I started getting the hang of the photographing the rapids on Lava. The other rapids I did from our campsite of other groups. I wish I could have set them all out and did our group on all the big ones!Quote:

It was a clean up trip, was great we managed to find a lot of garbage! 6 tires, a shopping cart, a camping chair, binoculars and 4 big bags of paper/plastic. The wind picked up in the afternoon and it was a pain to paddle the flat water. I met Bo and his friend Klein, both great guides and boat captains.
It turned out to be another great trip organized by Steve. I would go on all possible trips ran by Steve and I recommend you come along :nod:
I didn't take any pics, I believe Steve took some though.
I love to paddle in the flat water! Bo must be great from the posts his dad has made! Where did you go to find so much garbage?Quote:

It has a casual feel to it. :nod:
Not too many of you seem to be into the river thing, but here is the article Bo and I just wrote for the Today in Dixie Magazine.

Tanya, I loved your story, can't wait to eventually join in on a GC trip.

Nope, been on a river only a couple of years, so I am still learning the ropes :nod: My time will come, I am sure of that. Glad to live it through your picture and your story. Thanks! :2thumbs:
