On Monday I did a bike ride, and on Tuesday I went down to the riverfront and paddled for an hour. Other than that, my time this week has been occupied by the annual Pink Palace Crafts Fair, which begins today and runs through the weekend. I'll be out there demonstrating the craft of chairmaking, a big part of my non-athletic life.
I mentioned earlier that I was waiting to see the photographs that my friend Rob Lieb took on our river trip through the Grand Canyon. Yesterday he sent me some ninety images, and many of them are quite stunning. I expect I'll share many of them here as time goes on, but right now I'll focus on the ones that feature ME!!!!
Posing in front of Deer Creek Falls.
Laboring through one of the many sections of squirrelly water.
Sometimes I hopped on J.D. Terry's raft for the purpose of eating my lunch. That's J.D. at the oars, me on the left, Rob on the right.
Paddling in Marble Canyon on Day 1.
We saw some heavy rain on the first day of the trip. Rob captured this lone paddler working his way downriver through Marble Canyon.
Hi Rob!!!!
Paddling through one of the riffles on Day 1.
I think this photo was taken in the first mile of the trip, where the clear water released from Glen Canyon Dam was getting mixed with muddy water from Pariah Creek. A thunderstorm miles away had caused some flash flooding in Pariah.
Our group does a vertical leap, on command, in Redwall Cavern. Some of us had better timing than others. I'm the second person from the right.
Life in the canyon sure is lovely for me and Amelia Taylor.
I'm not sure which camping spot this is, but it's in the second week of trip when the moon was full. That's my tent, which I shared with Rob on rainy nights. While there's no sign of rain in this photo, it could easily have rained a couple of hours later.
