Our campsite at the little D
This morning I repay Sarah for some of her lost beauty sleep: Colin and Susan let us sleep in until 8 before the smell of coffee makes us crawl out of our sleeping bags.
What a couple!
The vultures are circling Colin, the breakfast chef. The omelets were delicious!
We had a lazy breakfast: omelets with more coffee. Then Colin and Susan slowly broke camp, while we were enjoying the peace and quiet. By now we are pros in packing up, so everything was ready within 15 minutes. Then it went into the rapids.
Susan and the girls getting ready for the rapids.
Colin’s raft went first and we went for a 45 minute ride through some exciting whitewater. It was over way too soon! :-(
Almost at the end of Westwater canyon.

Almost lunchtime!
Yesterday we hiked at little hole. Now we passed big hole, an abandoned meander bend, before we had lunch. Lunch again was delicious: build your own sandwiches and stuff your face with cookies! We were experts in both events!

the girls swimming in the river
Now that all the rapids were behind us we also had the opportunity to jump into the river. The girls covered themselves with mud and worked on their tans on a rock in the river. Son we were off again and around 2 PM we arrived at the Cisco boat launch where Allen was still waiting for us. In no time everything was unpacked, the rafts were loaded onto a trailer and everybody was off. On our way to Green River we visited the petroglyphs and pictographs at Sego Canyon. In Green River we had a chance to visit the Holiday headquarters, buy a shirt, and have some soft-serve ice cream (A sure sign of a dying town!). A few hours later we arrived in salt lake, checked into our hotel rooms, had pizza for dinner and went to sleep in a real bed for the first time in ten days.
One last thunderstorm in Salt Lake.
The End!
