Chuy provided "The Monster Truck", with seating for, say, 23, which was essential to the transport of all those canyoneers UP the mountain. Here Koen, a Belgian from Spain, has a big smile - obviously BEFORE enduring the two-hour thrasing...

We followed a Mexican friend off on a confusing maze of animal trails into the woods...

... and finally came to a stream choked with poison ivy. Time to suit up!

And got to some tasty rappels. Zack rappin' into a pool.

John Hart was in the early group, that left the Hotel 2 hours before us, then had a two-hour flat tire, so they ended up about 15 minutes ahead of us. Another rap into a pool (folks from the other group), with much picture taking, as expected in such a beautiful place. Photo: John Hart
