What's this?

Yeah, pretty close. I'll never forget our guide "Buford" - I'll not

bore everyone here retelling the story. I will say, though, after just now watching some videos...it looks a LOT safer these days. Mass amounts of people out there helping out. There was barely anyone around when I went in the 80's. And man...also now remember the cold after the sun set behind the gorges near the end of the trip (in the fall). Think I possibly had hypothermia...I know my peepee went awol for a while, ha.
