Day 7


We did a morning hike from camp to Tuck Up Canyon. On the hike I contemplated life a little and decided I should not join the PTO so I can have more time for me and less time doing stuff for other people- call me selfish.

We rode with Laura and BJ and painted our faces for Lava Falls and its 37 foot drop. Some of the group drank before the rapid. I had Bailey's and whiskey. Anticipation was more scary than the actual rapid thanks to our guide's skill and experience.

It was windy in the afternoon and too windy with unseasonably mild weather made it too cold for this Arizona girl to swim in the rapid. However, we did see a beaver swimming and get out of the water. It was huge. We also saw a blue heron, big horn sheep and humming birds.

Not surprisingly, it was windy at camp. We stopped at mile 210. I helped make dinner and was rewarded with more Jameson. I saw a falling star as I went to sleep and longed for my husband.

Breakfast:egg over medium, English muffin with cheese and bacon
Lunch: spicy chicken salad wraps and regular Oreo's
Dinner: NY strip, mash potatoes and salad with brownie for dessert
