SUMMER 2007

HAVASUPAI 8/07

We hiked 20 miles in the Grand Canyon to see the the amazing blue water falls and the Havasupai village, and it was worth it. It was amazing. We hiked all through the night so it wouldn't be so hot. We camped for three nights, drank water from a spring (we did filter it until after the other 10 drank it directly from the spring and didn't get sick) and ate dry pack food. our backpacks were pretty heavy.



Colby's sleepy eyes....
We were tired after hiking through the night.








Colby took Uncle Dale on a Fourwheeler ride on Labor Day Weekend. Pretty sure he loved it.

Ivie, Barb, Maren, Karen and Merilee backpacked down rattlesnake creek and Ashdown Gorge.

PROPHECY WALL 2007

It was three pitches and about 250 feet but at least we had our helmets on!! Coming down was worse than going up.

We went with Derek, Rob, Karen. It's amazing we are still alive. This was the first time we had ever attempted anything this big before. For the others it was just another stroll in the park.

Look at Derek's goofy mug. Okay Colby's too. Merilee is just scared.

Yankee Doodle Hollow 8/07

This is really cool canyon near Leeds. There is one big rappel and so much to see. We took the SUU gymnastic team and their parents here for work at the SUU Outdoor Center. It took a long time but it was fun. We had one injury with lots of blood but she survived. Ha. It is scary being a group leader and having so much responsibility for people's safety but we have such a good time working together like always.
