For those of you whom haven't been down the canyon, here are some pics and info.
Teams of 3-4 rotate cooking and other duties. One team cooks dinner, breakfast, and lunch, while another deals with the groover, fire pit, dishes, ect. Teams responsibilities change daily, and after 4 days there is usually a day off.
Considered by many, the best part of the day. Never will there be a more beautiful movement than in the Canyon. It is often funny when we reach Phantom Ranch and people are excited to use flush toilets, only to return and talk about how much cleaner and nicer it is to use the groover.
Cleanliness is of the utmost importance in the Canyon, most people wash their hands more times in one day in the Canyon, than a week at home. No one wants to get sick.
Oh, and there is this also. If you flip your boat, or are part of a flip, you have to appease the river gods by consuming a beer via shoe, flip-flop, sandal, anything that your foot has spent a bunch of time in. Mandatory.
SUP LAVA
Of the 285? miles of the canyon, only 5 of those look anything like this, but they're amazing, fun, and pretty safe, considering the pool-drop nature of the canyon.
More to follow.
