1. Here's the loaded raft and my brother-in-law. There were four of us on the trip. [We weren't on a guided excursion. It was just us.] The raft held all of our food, water, camping gear, etc. for the week long trip. On this stretch of the Green River in Utah, you have to have a permit. They only give two permits per day. The river looks calm there, but the rapids aren't. A week before we set out, another group lost someone whose kayak flipped and the fellow got caught under the rocks.2. Awesome scenery.
3. Some of the canyon rims are 5000 feet above the river. 
4.This is Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid territory. These wild horses have lived in this canyon for decades. There's an old log cabin near this spot - still with pots & pans, glass bottles etc. 
5. Wash day 
6. One day we got off the river and hiked to some petroglyphs. That's me.
7. Recently, someone asked me, "When you are riding on the big raft, do you get splashed by the water?" --- Yes. 
8. I'm paddling as fast as I can! 
9. On our last night on the river, we camped across from Nefertiti rock. 
Wonderful experience!
