RIGGING DAY

After a night's stay in Kanab at the Parry Lodge, famous for the many old western movie stars who stayed there during filming...we arrived at Lee's Ferry on May 31.
It was easily over 100ยบ as we waited for the outfitter and full crew to arrive. Some were late. The task at hand this day was to get orientation to the rafts and provisions...
and to all the do's, don'ts and warnings issued by our very entertaining park ranger. After we inflated rafts and loaded them with supplies, we camped on the side of the
Colorado River, just 15 miles downstream from Glenn Canyon Dam, in the tall grass, where we saw a young rattlesnake, bats and an assortment of other desert critters.
