Tuesday:

I am trying not to vomit.

  river day 2  
Crystal Rapid
  Bill the guide more rapids aak!

Toe is aflame from red ant bite. wah! Wonder where the guide leader keeps that satellite phone? Can I find it, get a helicopter & get rescued before we break camp??
 
 

Shheesh it's HOT! I pray for a few clouds. Suddenly a clap of thunder. Ooh! Thunder is very impressive in the Grand Canyon. COOL!
 
A few minutes more... BIG thunder! Lightning streaks across the sky. A sprinkle of rain, followed by a f**king downpour!
Bill, the river guide, is an odd combination of lunatic and mellow hippy.
 
  serpentine rapid
lightning and thunder and tanya & lorenzo
  even more rapids

Danger of a flash flood sweeping through the narrow side canyon interupts the other rafters' hike. Boat leaders hurry us into boats and we take off down river to camp... hope there are no fire ants!
