Expo Water Colleagues:
At Lee's Ferry & just realized we have cell coverage. So here's an update:
Completed equipment check this afternoon & all permits in hand so will launch tomorrow after the orientation. Winter season so only one party launches per day, no comercial trips, and no motors. Watched 4 kayaks leave today so I might find some company down river.
Our trip originally with three of us, but injuries took out my two companions so trip is now a solo. Changed plans to make it easier on an old guy alone. Will run 80 river miles to Hance Rapids & leave river there. Pack up everything, including boat, & backpack out via Tonto & Grand View trails to meet wife at South Rim.
Several lay over days for additional hiking in side canyons. 13 days total, 10 river & 3 trail. Definitely excited this all came together. Promise a trip report if I make it out.....
