This has been a busy week and now we are preparing for our rafting trip down the Colorado River, right through the heart of the Grand Canyon. A few clothing items that provide at least some warmth when wet and that dry quickly form the foundation of our equipment. A hat, some suntan lotion and lip balm complete the personal protection part of the package. In case of rain we are packing a couple of inexpensive rain poncho's.Add in some gear to protect your cameras (zip lock bags or dry bags, depending on the size of your gear and your level of paranoia), stuff it all into a backpack and you are ready to raft
the mighty Colorado.
We can pack so lightly since we will only be on the river for one day. The rafting expedition company takes care of everything else: food, water, snacks, rafts, life vests, paddles, guides plus extensive knowledge of the Grand Canyon's history, flora and fauna.
Mary Lynn and I are incredibly excited. We cannot take Dobbie so our
friends Dave & Mary Anne will be watching her.
This will probably be the last post until at least Wednesday evening, perhaps until Thursday. If I can get access to a computer I'll leave a quick update however that's unlikely.
Our cell phones will not work Monday evening, all day Tuesday, and Wednesday morning so if you need to reach us leave a message and we'll get back to you once we get coverage.
See Ya!
