Paria Day 2

Starting out day 2


Filling up at a spring


Such interesting formations






My view while waiting for everyone to catch up. Missed a side trip/meander going in a crack because went ahead. Oops! But, look at how blue the sky is!

Starting to see more water

No use trying to stay dry now

Our fearless leader Rachel playing in the quicksand

Now washing off the quicksand

There is a teenage boy in the middle of that photo

Hi George! I started up this side trip and then turned around when I started slipping on the rocks. Plus the hot rocks were burning my hands.

Such pretty colors

Julie coming up another side trip. See our backpacks left at the bottom.

You can't tell but that rock drops off dramatically right behind me.

Now maybe you can tell with the river in the shot

George relaxing the in river while waiting for those that went all the way to the top of the canyon.

Uh oh! Looks like Richard's gone loony


Maybe George too! What am I gonna do?

Resting my feet. Pretty purple duct tape on the toes.

Julie and Richard starting out again.

George at the pump. Camp was not too far from here. This night there was frogs in camp moving down to the water. Right as we went to bed one tried to come into my tent. Richard was nice enough to shoo it around so it could get to the water.
