Dreams do come true !

after salivating over bucksking gulch for quite some time now, we were finally able to get down inside our continents largest western desert irrigation canal. For those who don't know about buckskin gulch, it is twelve miles in length with only one escape route @ mile 6, unless you have radical climbing skills, with walls reaching 500 feet on both sides. Here is the initial place of descent into the canyon, the only point of escape unless you go six miles. Totally Awesome !





We were able to descend this canyon with will & emily, and paul & lena, well we think that his name is paul, but not entirely sure who he is, we do know he and his wife are from another country, this inquiry was speculated into all weekend, and the conclusions drawn were that he knows some outrageously cool/unique/possibly painful/ice cream consequential hand shake that you need to know in order to transcend into the cosmos of cerainty. Soooooo, we tried to feed him ice cream all weekend which turned out to be totally awesome. Here is the crew in one of the wider sections of the canyon.



of course maya found the water, and loved the mud, here she is awaiting a rock to be thrown in the water, she has a one tracked mind. Here she is sending one of the crossings.

Here is another photo of the narrow sections of the canyon, so amazingly quite and still, no wind, not much sunshine, and lots of catepillars.


It was amazing to see the debri that is left from the flash floods that run through this canyon, some of which reaches about twenty feet off the gulch floor, which is kinda scary but makes you want to watch a torrent rush through there from the top.


People pay money for this don't they? so I had to try it out. There was alot of mud from the previous weeks, and it was so fun to play in.



This was an all around ridiculously fun weekend with some close friends. Everyones lives are so incredibly busy right now that the times that we get to hang out with our friends are exhausting because everyone is so excited. It was especially fun to laugh for the entire weekend, which becomes exhausting after two days but well worth the adventure. On sunday we went and swam in lake powell near the waweep marina on lone rock beach to cool down which felt wonderful, sorry no pics. Lindsay and I are so lucky to have such wonderful friends who are willing to stuff six people in a car and head down to the desert for the weekend. Thanks Ya'll

The rest of the photos are in a photo album to the right, there will be repeats so don't cry about it.
