    I think that's enough for now. I have a lot of lazy river days and several more rapid shots, but that is good. Bo has a ton of hiking shots from the trip.

    Wow again! I have nothing exciting in my shots like yours Tanya! Its hard to capture "typewriter knee" on a limestone face! If I could have captured someone falling, it would have been dramatic, but the outcome wouldn't have been as sweet!

    Don't mind the youngsters.... they just like splashing things and such.

    Ah, the kids like "exciting", but the discerning among us enjoy nice scenery and tales of exploration just as much. C'mon Bo, share some hiking pics...

    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!!!

    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!

    I have a new appreciation for the Grand Canyon. I have always LOVED Zion and wondered what it was about that Grand Canyon that was so great.... it's the river! Boating that river was incredible!!! I hope I get to go on more private trips!

    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
