Took another raft trip down the Colorado River through Grand Canyon with my favorite boatmen Joe and Elkanah.
Had a great trip. The weather was HOT! The water was actually quite warm, as there had been some emergency releases of surface water at the Glen Canyon dam due to wildfires causing power problems. I spent several breaks floating in the river in my life jacket, which I would never have done on previous trips, and most eveings hanging out on the boats with the crew because it was so much cooler over the water than on land.
I'm glad I took a cot to sleep on on this trip, the sand was so hot it was apparently almost impossible to sleep on, but it allowed me to choose rockier sites closer to the water where there was a breeze. It was about the same size as the camp chairs, so I just stashed it in the chair bags for transport during the day. When it was identified each evening it was announced as the Princess Bed, and therefore I was "Princess".View photos in my Picasa album
