| The recently formed motley Sonoran ACA
crew of nerdy engineering types get together for another canyoneering Extravapolooza! The canyon
is billed as a lot 'o' work, for a little bit 'o' canyon. Let's go!
... but first let's work out the formula used by a gps to perform
terrain mapping - yay! |
| |
| We head through the scrub & climb.
Todd was the only one who had done this canyon and with an uncanny
knack for remembering details, reports to the party that the path
levels out just up ahead - and about hour and a half later, so it
does. For some reason this fails to impress. |

| We pass by a side canyon. A potential
exploration for another day?.............. Damn straight. |

| |
| Several hours, some trudging and route
finding, we find the canyon
and splash our way down stream. |

| |
| We rock hop, swim, bush whack, for
several hours with no end in sight. The party begins questioning
whether said canyon even exists. A seething undercurrent of unrest
grips the party, a mutiny is brewing. The leader grips his hiking
stick with steely resolve, preparing to beat back the unruly mob.

| Rap #1 and Tom opts for the direct
route. |

| Brett displays uncommonly good sense &
chooses a somewhat less moist rappel. |
