“Goin’ Home Goin’ Home, By the Waterside I Will Rest My Bones, Listen to the River Sing Sweet Songs”
Grateful
We still have 40 miles of river to go, but we will not be paddling today. We skim along the water from Separation Canyon to Pierce Ferry Landing as the waters grow wider and calmer.
Thanks to Scott for putting this adventure together and for bringing us together once again, as a Tramily.
Thanks to Kurtis, Kyle and Ann for the photos and video clips that filled in where I missed.
Thanks to The Colorado Crew, The Boston Bobbers and my G&T WingWoman and her talented husband for being a rollicking group of Merry Pranksters. Cheers!
Thanks to Heather, Tony, Tom, Andy, Will, Jesse, Maddi and Amanda for keeping us safe, fed, comfortable and suspended in a bubble of child-like wonder. #outdoorsunlimited
Thanks to the staff at Outdoors Unlimited who took responsibility for the behind-the-scenes logistics. We never met you, but your attention to detail was evident in every aspect of this sojourn.

BROKEDOWN PALACE
By Robert Hunter & Jerry Garcia
Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Are flown, except you alone
Gonna leave this brokedown palace
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll
In a bed, in a bed
By the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
River gonna take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home
Going home, going home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
Going to plant a weeping willow
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow
Singing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river will roll, roll, roll
Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

Thanks to the parents who sacrificed to help open our eyes to the wonders of the world.
I love you more than words can tell

Killer Fang Rapid and a Lazy River Party Barge Between rapids, we took a hike to see a boulder etched with a commemorative marking. In June & July 1983 the river saw record flow of 97,000 cubic feet per second and this stone represents the high water mark of that event. This was the massive dam release that propelled a team of three river guides to make a speed record transit of the canyon. The...

The River gets wider and so do the blue skies above. It’s another hot day punctuated by a refreshing splash through Kolb Rapid, AKA 205 Mile Rapid. “205 will eat you alive” warn veteran river guides. Will treats us to a bedtime story and the bravest get a glimpse of some of the critters with whom we share our camp. Another dazzling night under this dark sky.
Lava Falls
มุมมอง 223หลายเดือนก่อน
The day has arrived. We are putting on our game-faces and clutching talismans for fortune. We salute Vulcan’s Anvil as we paddle by and give Odin’s Eye a wink. Every wave, every hole, every hydraulic feature up until now have prepared us for this notorious white water section and we don’t know if it will be enough. This massive rapid is known to be the most difficult in the Canyon’s entire 280 ...

Another side canyon offers us a break from paddling with enticing pools and waterfalls to soothe us. We enjoy the swift flowing water back on the Colorado River. Nothing but riffles to negotiate today. S. A. M.’s thermometer pegs at 125 degrees F (52* C) then simply reads “HOT.” Yes, indeed…HOT. We cruise about 25 miles today.

It's our fourth day on the water, as we negotiate the thrilling rapids of The Middle Granite Gorge; Forester, Fossil, Spector, Bedrock and Deubendorff. Another big thanks to Kurtis for his rapids videos. They bring us right into the action. (Honestly, I was just looking at my paddle and the paddle in front of me for all of the white water.) After lunch, we had a "choose your adventure" opportun...

Once we paid our dues to the river, we were ready for a magical afternoon, starting at Elves Chasm and finishing with a haunted slot canyon. A lunch break at Big Dune Beach gives us a chance to admire stone sculpted by water.

Escaping the crowds and noise of the Grand Canyon’s south rim is easy. Just start hiking below the rim, and you are instantly transported to a different world that most never experience.

thanks for sharing.... i was a bit worried when you did not post a new adventure but then i discovered my notification did not work properly. Glad all is well and you had a great time.
thanks again for sharing
seriously how professional are these guides? dare i say not the youngest chickens and not only make sure they are safe but that they enjoy an excellent experience. and all the side detours to see wonderful sights..
yeah no paddle plenty of beer.... life on the river..... going no where in a hurry.... thank you for all of us who are unable for many reasons to enjoy this adventure in person.
the couple that waterfalls together...... yeah that was close enough... a couple of those pictures would make excellent Christmas cards.
thank you for sharing.
all hail the raft carrying the beer. just when i was relaxing with some sushi. off you go on hike and climbing. hmmm going down face first.... not wisest method but given the age of the climbers🤔. hehehehe still envious of slider's hair that he could use a waterfall washing... he maybe a small cup is all that is needed.
Thank you so much for your incredible videos and sharing your journey. I have loved watching these as I prepare to walk the Camino del Norte starting in a couple of weeks. Watching your videos has been a joy and inspiration ❤
Belated congratulations, S.A.M.!!! :^D
Now I see the toilet. Open air excitement. The scenery on this trip was just beautiful after beautiful. I can see that a lot of planning and luck goes into a trip like this to be successful. It was pretty cool watching all your videos. Thank you for the documentation of the trip and the enjoyment that went along with it. John from MI
Well someone found some rocks shaped like a heart. I'm thinking the sun was pretty much relentless. The rapids were pretty good today. Beautiful view at 9:40. It's kind of sad to see the rafts being deflated. One last night under the stars. John from MI
Pretty strong river current today. Liked the story and the view of the stars at the end. Nice night. John from MI
That looked like a good set of rapids at 2:58. If you fall in, get your feet pointing downstream. Looks like the Ravens/Crows keep following you. Nice touch with the guitar playing. John from MI
Nice music for the bird sequence. Loved the side trip today. John from MI
That waterfall must have hurt when you went under it. John from MI
So that's how you take showers on the trip! Did anyone need to be airlifted out on the trip? I can see many opportunities for trips and falls that could result in broken bones. I'm interested in the bathrooming on this trip. Did they bring portable toilets or have to pack out excrement? Or did you dig catholes? And what was the sleep setup like? Backpacking tents or cowboy camping? John from MI
Bet you wish you had your sit pad from the AT when you have to sit on those rocks. I'm way behind on your videos. I was on a camping trip and then life interrupts my viewing time. Looks like fun but it's a long time to be on a rafting trip. John from MI
What a great way to end the trip, an opportunity to enjoy the view without the work! Thank you for sharing. We really enjoyed the show!💚✝️🌷
Beautifully done! I loved the lack of speaking. You let the majesty of nature do all the talking! Thanks for sharing!
The tour package you went with is amazing! All that gear set up each night, wow! The skill of the oarsmen/women! Finding all the nook and cranny waterfalls, pools, WOW! What an excellent way to experience the canyon and river!!
Peaceful. Even over the rapids. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more adventures after you rest. Stay safe and please don't forget to vote!
Just a good finish!! Thank you for taking us here!! ❤❤❤❤
Awesome! Please do a before and after video with logistics, packing, how many days was your trip, etc. I really would like to go.
Beautiful final leg to an incredible trip. Thanks for sharing as always! Oh, typed to early, maybe the bus ride wasn't great 😂
I've really enjoyed these videos. The Grand Canyon is so amazing, I've been blessed to see it twice from the South Rim. It's my favorite natural National Park.
The end of your trip was probably bittersweet-such a large experience with so many memories- but the promise of a shower, proper bed and a toilet would also be very exciting!
A bittersweet day. We really enjoyed the show!
I was wondering if we were going to get to see the night sky. Wow!
What a great adventure! Thanks for sharing and for your always beautiful videography!
While watching the videos of this trip, I see many inspirational views for future pictorial quilts!
What a beautiful ending to this video!
Great ending of your video!
WHOA that's beautiful - that starry shot at the end! Gorgeous!! And looks like a lot of work in those rafts!
Great serenade! Looked like a restful day in a peaceful spot!
Looks like such a fun trip!!
Simply beautiful 😮
Great scenery and a fun adventure 👍
Such cool colors just a wonderful upload my friend!
Amazing colors today! What an awesome experience!
Incredible waterfalls and rock formations. That's extreme exfoliation!
Love the video! Leaving a like and sub! Keep up the good work! Almost to 3k!!
What a wonderful experience. I'd say once in a lifetime but that seems to be all your trips! Truly beautiful photography.
Love glimpses into your retirement ❤
Quite the hike today! It looks like it was worth it!
Incredible rapids. Impressive control by the gear boat guys. Oh and Slider would make an excellent masked man in the Old West!
Amazing trip. I'm impressed with the amount of gear the outfitters have set up. Beautiful trip and your video as always is incredible!
I would be on board with every aspect of this trip except the heat. If the heat is so bad that you look forward to spending hours in wet soggy clothes, that’s a bridge too far for me!
Another day of beautiful scenery! We really enjoyed the water slide!
What incredible memories from early August, 2001; Six day trip with Western River. Once in a lifetime fantastic experience. If any of you are on here from our great group please give a 'shoutout'? I'm Jim. I have about 140 photos from our trip. If anyone is interested in the trip it is an experience you will cherish the rest of your lives!!!
Curious minds want to know…did anyone fall out of the raft?
