yup ... the drops are pretty darn WOW ... did you first do that in feb 2005? when you did the others? i would have been on that trip with nat, when you bumped into him, but i was recovering from an injury. we went down and did constrych/arsce in march (2005).

---

ok. yeah. i remember bumping into nat and another in sracenic, in '04-ish i think. we were taking a break to ooh & ah when they passed us. it was kinda funny as we then headed down canyon their tracks dissappeared. we thought they stemmed over a spot but it got too wide for that after some 10-20 feet, but still NO TRACKS :eek2: . we had some fun making up stories as to what they really were. angels to delay us from meeting some untimely freak accident doom ? aliens playin' w/ our head ? g-men keeping tabs on us ??? 1st did constrychnine w/ shane end of '05 (i think). teh others were '04-ish.

---

well, i know it was feb 05 that they were down there. he was with his friend jeff. they did slideanide and arscenic that trip, did they see you in slideanide? we then came back the following month to do the constrychnine/arscenic pair.

anyhow, shane posted on your constychnine saying it was 2/11/06 weekend.

crazy, one year later and your in the same area cool.!


as far as the alien angels, he told me they stemmed much of it trying to avoid all of the water. did you not see tracks after that?
:haha:

interestingly the following month when we returned, the canyons were bone dry

constrychnine must have been 2.5 then. maybe i am trying to block that whole trip form my mind. shane seemed really jealous of my superior driving skills nad snappy cap :lol8: . i was embarassed for him. :mrgreen:

i really have a horrible memory when it comes to when's and where's and what's. seem to have a hard time holding on to more than the emotional memories. specifics blur right out eventually... but i do remember they had wetsuits and had done or were going to do slideanide. we saw them in arscenic. was only 1 little pool then about knee deep and 5 or so feet long, maybe a little more.

that is a nice complex down there. even though i try pretty hard to stay out of something twice, arscenic and constrychnine are great canyons.

Technically a canyon, but not a technical canyon: Virgin River Narrows, Zion.

Another non-technical one: Orderville, minutes from the confluence.

Thanks to stefan, I am reposting some canyoneering shots here.

Haven't read the rules about 1 pic per post, Doh!

Ice: Hey Goof, I think a turtle just passed us, he was towing a rabbit on a skateboard.

Goof: Don't you worry about a thing, I got the ol' cruise control set on 45.

Ice: Nice hat.

Goof: Thanks.

Ice: Do they sale any men's clothing where you bought that hat?

:lol8:

This picture was taken at the cathedral in early evening. I know it was late because it was after 5:00 pm when we picked up our permit and the backcountry ranger gave us a bunch of crap about it was too late in the day and we would die if we entered the canyon so late.

We showed her..... and lived :haha:

Have any of these rangers ever been caving? A cave, canyoneering after dark, Is there really a difference? :ne_nau:

I don't know.... you read through some of the old accident reports and NPS Morning Reports and you will just shake your head in amazement at the stupidity of some folks.

The rangerette had no clue who we were..... we could easily have been the local boy scout troop equipped with no wet suits, a shared rappel device and no headlamp. How was the rangerette supposed to know that we were world renowned canyoneers. :haha:

The really funny part was one of the boys told the rangerette that "Tom Jones said it was OK".

She said "Oh, you know Tom? He taught me how to rappel. If Tom says it's OK I'll give you a permit".
