Our Grand Canyon Whitewater Rafting Adventure! ~ Day 4



So if you’re thinking, “Seriously, just how many pictures are there?” Day 4 will be a good day for you. Our camera had a setting failure for most of the day. A few people sent us their pictures from that day and we were able to salvage a few of ours as well.  Bummer for us, but perhaps a relief for a few of you……

After a wonderful breakfast of Challah French toast (with that real maple syrup) and fresh fruit, we were once again on our way.
 



Our first stop after lots of floating, rapids and canyon views, we stopped at Shinamu Waterfall




which was a cool waterfall that you could walk behind and slide down. (In your mind, see Suzanne doing this – there was a photo…….)



After a lunch of the usual (deli, fresh fruit, chips & cookies), we rafted some more until we got to Blacktail, another hike.



This time Scott & Nick brought their guitars and we hung around singing some pretty funky songs that Scott wrote.



As we continued rafting to our camp for the night, we starting seeing some of the many sheep we would see for the rest of the trip




Dinner was Mexican Fiesta which began with chips, with freshly made salsa and freshly made guacamole. (Yes, there were avocados being scooped, etc….)

As always, fresh vegetables!




It’s been a while since there’s been a picture of Brad eating……….



We camped below Forster Rapid that night, again, outside the tent looking at the stars. It was always really fun to camp by rapids and hear the water all night long. This was by far our favorite campsite – it was large and sandy (no rocks) and everyone sort of put their tents in a large semi-circle. Again, we fell asleep under the stars listening to the close-by rapid………


Wow ~ that was quick!
