Here
I am again, not being as productive as I had hoped. Fortunately, for you, I
still have pictures to share from Hell’s Gate.
Here
Boni and John are giving us instructions for hiking in the gorge.
Here we go down into it.
Somewhere
along here is where my feet went out from under me and I came down on my left
hand. That was five weeks ago, and it still hurts. I did have it x-rayed when I
got home and it wasn’t broken. It is feeling much better though every day.
Rachel
and Kenzie, our volunteers from back home, put up with a lot from me that day.
I don’t know how I would ever exit in case of emergency, but how
reassuring. Not so much.
Rachel
and Kenzie dealing with me again.
This
is the point where Boni said, “we can go to the left up this canyon and see a
lot and climb a lot and it will take a half an hour, or we can go the other way
and be out in five minutes. Your choice.” As if I had a choice.
Our
first major obstacle. I took this one like a champ. Too bad I melted down later
on,
As
if the rope at this emergency exit will save me.
Then
just a few more bends and I hit the wall. If you didn’t read about that earlier this week, you’ll have to go back and check that out.
A beautiful place and truly worth it.
