Love getting out in Glen Canyon. The best trip of the year, usually. This year's was especially blissful, as Ram's agenda was mild and the company the best available. Team Glen Canyon Fall 09: Ram, Brendan, Giles, Bob, Jules, Harvey Halpern King of the Canyoneers!! We consider Glen Canyon (Lake Powell area) to be an "Adventure Canyoneering Reserve", thus names of canyons are withheld, some details obscured and other mild obfucations taken in the interest of preserving the adventure (for the children!!!).

Brendan brought a boat out from San Fran. At the beginning of the trip, it looks remarkably clean (and un-crunched). Things were kinda crowded down on the pool, and we had a couple parties camp right close to us, even though we thought we were far from the madding crowd. An annoyance on our bliss, but not a big one. Just turn those generators off at night, OK?

Wonderful little camp.

Set up camp, then off for a quick canyon (the normal Ram schedule). Hiking in across wonderful slickrock, as usual.

First rap of the canyon, into a pool. Seemed drier than usual - was the pool still deep enough to jump?

El Ramoo, exiting the swim.

One of the locals, also concerned about the drying up pools...

Giles, our designated jumper, takes the plunge. Splish Splash!

Yah baby! See ma, no broken femur (yet, but don't let me give it away...)!!!
