Page The First: The Intro Daze (Days -2 through 1)

Thanks to the Keel-haulers Canoe Club for allowing me to use its webspace for posting all these photos. Be sure to check out the American Whitewater StreamTeam page on the Grand Canyon. And, as long as we're plugging, let's plug the Grand Canyon Private Boaters' Association, which does great work to counter the illegal policies of the National Parks Service and the politically nepotistic commercial rafting lobby.
