Flew into Phx, AZ from Juneau AK drove to Flagstaff AZ, then took an amazingly beautiful drive through Monument Valley, AZ. Put in for the river @ Sand Island in southern Utah. As the crow flys just down the way from Mexican Hat. Rowed 4 boats with 10 people down the San Juan river for 8 days... approximately 82 miles. Most amazing trip ... in years.. alot of work, great fun, fabulous scenery, very rejuvinating. Forgot how much work and how much fun river trips are.....
Got to hike to Anasazi Indian ruins, had a tacky party, rowed through Government Rapids, a class III rapid(the only one that didn't get stuck on a rock). We flipped a boat (no one injuried) My tent and boat mates were Nick and Maria on the Tortilla Float (our boat). Our guide, not guide was Lee... saved our virtual butts from likely demise in the wilderness.
