    • Glen Canyon (Utah and Ariz.); Rafting (Sports)--Colorado River (Colo.-Mexico)

    • woman who wished additional design on the walls of her home. Down the cliff a little ways a full-fledged dig was in process - a number of potsherds and pieces of siliceous minerals used for making arrow heads were found, and Dick actually picked up...

    • Glen Canyon (Utah and Ariz.); Rafting (Sports)--Colorado River (Colo.-Mexico)

    • After the supper had vanished, and while we all washed our plates, cups, and utensils with the cool mud of the creek bed, a roaring campfire was built; and, as the blaze died away, and the embers glowed brightly, the entire group sat around,...

    • Glen Canyon (Utah and Ariz.); Rafting (Sports)--Colorado River (Colo.-Mexico)

    • The day ahead was to be rather long, and spiced only by one stop at a previously unexplored canyon. But we were told of many landmarks and points of interest to keep our eyes on as we drifted down the River of No Return. This particular aspect of...

    • Glen Canyon (Utah and Ariz.); Rafting (Sports)--Colorado River (Colo.-Mexico)

    • light red limestone which we saw for the remainder of the trip. The walls of the canyon were lower, but no less rugged than they had been previously; and our experienced eyes could now more quickly sight the tell-tale talus of an abandoned mine. We...

    • all the crews to return, we made loblollies on the beach and watched the frogs which fearlessly sat next to us. Stan had succeeded in breaking down the sand bar on one side so that the jump across the little stream and the giant loblolly was a...

    • Glen Canyon (Utah and Ariz.); Rafting (Sports)--Colorado River (Colo.-Mexico)

    • camp ground was solved by a bucket brigade, and before long the 36 assembled for the hike (or as much of it as you felt your exhausted body could take) to the Hole in the Rock. Merly abandoned the customary trail because of the very dense growth...

    • Glen Canyon (Utah and Ariz.); Rafting (Sports)--Colorado River (Colo.-Mexico)

    • meaningfulness of this spot. Though we wished to linger there in the breeze and the quietude we had found, in order to get down to the camp before dark, we had to begin the descent. On the way down each of us collected film boxes, candy wrappers,...

    • amphitheater of the Music Temple. Exploring about, we found the names of Dellenbach, Stewart, Powell, and others, and dates back to 1871. Quietly we gathered by the edge of the dark blue pool, led there by the sweet echoing melodies Merly played...

    • rope broke; and after grappling with the muddy bank and water chest-high, they arrived looking for all the world like official river rats. Other crews, too, had been pressed against the muddy banks; and the shirts which had been so white that...

    • given to us; and, for the rest of the evening, we listened or spoke and were filled with the love and the joy of the people and the world about us. We stared hard at the huge rock walls across the river, while they slowly turned from red to black...

    • Merly and his crew of River Rats quickly prepared fine loblollies for representatives of each crew to crawl, run, and creep through. (Ted and Johno were eliminated from the activities after a mud shave as punishment for their naughty deed.) Bob...

    • Eventually, the war became too rough. Betty was pulled into the river and held under accidentally; Glad was getting mighty cold; and Merlin lost part of his finger as he tried in vain to retain a large can which was his last weapon. When his crew...

    • Glen Canyon (Utah and Ariz.); Rafting (Sports)--Colorado River (Colo.-Mexico)

    • On the inland boundary of our campsite a modest leaning tower was constructed. It even had a sign warning of the dangers inside; and as it quivered and quaked in the wind, some of us waited anxiously to see if it would fall. Pearl and Glad pulled...

    • Since the dirt road was steep and at its crest there was some soft sand, we all walked past the first bend, where a mad scramble was made for the positions in which we would be carried homeward. Of course, the best places were near canteens, on...
