Zion ACA Rendezvous April 2004
The Mighty Pine Creek

This canyon was not particularly crowded.  Except for us.

Next day seemed like a good one for the MIGHTY Pine Creek. 'Spossed to be full of water - it was!!

But first - had to hang out, waiting for the car spotters to return. The usual inspection by the (rather obviously) law enforcement rangerettes was tolerated. The usual antics getting the drysuits and wetsuits on were had. Hanging out in a dry suit in 85 degree sunshine - priceless...

Ah, nothing like a tight neck seal...

Sharon does the honors on Alicia's suit, while Hank, as usual, refrains from smiling...

Elvis must be around here somewhere...

This was declared a Girl's Day Out, so us guys were sent to the back. Sharon goes Au Chevaux to gain the first rappel anchor...

Cold, cold water.

Lots of water makes for lots of swimming...

Are we there yet?
Alicia sets up the second to last rappel, Sharon and Patty, uh, supervise.

Are we there yet?
Ah, Zion, where they sell Space Emergency Blankets right next to the Choco-diles...
