Grand Canyon July 2003

World, I am your slow guest,
one of the common things
     that move in the sun and have
     close, reliable friends
     in the earth, in the air, in the rock.

                 -- William Stafford


A number of these pictures were taken by Jeanette Slaughter with my camera, but the exact credit is hard to determine in retrospect...

The mist from the falls at Deer Creek seems to blow right through you.
Here's Jason absorbing the power and beauty.
 
 

Trip participants on the morning of the last day.
We all wanted to go back around and run it again.
 
 

Jon, the trip leader, leaving the Marble Canyon bridges behind.
Jon is an amazing IK'er.  He deftly ran right down the throat of rapids that I thought would
surely upset him.
 
 

Here I am early in the voyage, trip beard well under way.
Honored and priveliged to be on my 6th run of the Canyon.
 
 

Jeanette, good friend and boat buddy.
