It was not the warmest of days, and with all the recent rain, the canyon was obviously tip-top full. But there is not a LOT of swimming. In this picture, Larry contemplates the cold, but brief, swim that is in his future.

And in no time at-all, we're to the final, 240 foot rappel. Down, down, down an interesting flute..

Kip, contemplating the big swim at the end. Usually the rappel is about 10 feet longer...

And then the two hour walk out. I musta been gettin' a little delirious, 'cause Big Springs was not looking quite right. Colors change in the fall, but this???

A good time was had by all. You wouldn't know it from their smiles, and we're struggling to keep Larry awake, but otherwise...

Thanks to Rob for doing the horrendous 3-hour car retrieval.

The next day, many people did fun things, but Larry and I drove home.
