On the way....the people: Nate, Bob, Tim, Bill, Joanne, Christina, Miki and Rebecca:

Day 1 - Rig & Launch at Sand Wash - Camp Day 1 - MOSQUITOS!!

          (Floating lunch to stay away from shore and the mosquitos).

Day 2 - Only riffles - but fast current makes an easy day

Day 3/4 - Way fewer bugs - the first exciting rapids - pictoglyphs, and our layover camp with a clean, hot shower

Day 5 - Back on the river - camp near McPhearson Ranch - a hazy morning due to smoke - presumably from a nearby forest fire.

Day 6 - This is the most exciting rapids day - Three Fords and Coal Creek! We are in Gray Canyon - leaving Desolation Canyon behind...

Day 7 - Our last day on the river - floating rapids - Nefertiti - etc.
