Amy slipping into a slot... ph: Tom

I (Tom) got stuck. Ram came back to help, in this narrow spot.

It slotted up right away. Dave and I, the skinniest, eased our way right through, while the others struggled a little bit more trying not to get stuck. The lights of the canyon were spectacular. Dim light reflected off the rock giving an eerie glow to it.

Chambers had no mercy. More and more narrow and then narrower, until we came to a nice subway shaped opening, right in the middle of the canyon. Just when we arrived we ran into Penny and Aaron. They had been struggling up the canyon with great difficulty. We took a pit stop and had some lunch. It was a delicious energy booster for me. Before he left, Aaron mentioned the fact that a hair barret still lay on the canyon floor where Denise had dropped it by accident, on the November trip. It appeared that no one who had gone through since could get low enough to the ground of the canyon for it was very narrow.
