Grand Canyon Happenings

The Park Service is doing a hi-flow period to try and help the beach and sediment situation throughout the Grand Canyon section of the Colorado River. The day before Jennifer and I put on the river a group of scientists was putting on for a trip down during which they would measure the size of the beaches, in order to see what effect the hi-flow period has. Our friends Shiek, Janice and Bernie are going down in late March and, depending on the effect, all the camps' beaches could be different.

I believe this is at the same time when 3 men set the record for fastest trip down the canyon by doing it in 36 hours and some change, in a dorry. they put on (poached!) in the middle of the night on a full moon
