Ed and Phil decided to crawl up top through a hole behind and jump into the pool. |
 |
Phil who was in his late 70's was in excellent condition for his age. |

Timber. |

Ed was really in good condition and well coordinated. He would probably be great at any sport. He works and skies on the slopes in Utah during the winter months |
 |
Hope Ed didn't hit bottom too hard with that long lean body of his. |

My speed just wading in the refreshing water. |
 |
Jose was pleased that he decided to hike up to this spot. A really world class beautiful scene. |
 |
We are entering the volcanic rock area north of Lava Falls Rapid now. |
 |
I beleive this was the great uncomformity area. |

Looks like a satellite dish up there. |

This is right after the motor hit a rock in a rapids. Ed and Bert are trying to change out the heavy motor with the spare one as we float down to the next rapid. I was a bit concerned that Ed did not bother to anchor the boat to shore while he had a chance. They got it changed however with out dropping the new one into the drink. |
 |
The rock was hit so hard that the casting was cracked. If the second motor is damaged we will be stranded untill the next AZRA boat comes along in 1 to 2 days. |

Ed and Sandra. |
