05-01.jpg 05-01.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Irene checks wreckage left by some unfortunate boater.

05-02.jpg 05-02.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): A stream coming in from a side canyon.

05-03.jpg 05-03.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): A slender waterfall.

05-04.jpg 05-04.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Irene and Tejas enjoy waterfall.

05-05.jpg 05-05.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): The small rafts coming through a rapid.

05-06.jpg 05-06.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): The remains of an unsuccessful boat trip.

05-07.jpg 05-07.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): The canyon opens up.

05-08.jpg 05-08.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Purple vista.

05-09.jpg 05-09.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Evening campfire. Irene at right.

05-11.jpg 05-11.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Comic relief: Heading towards the river to wash the breakfast cup and plate.

05-12.jpg 05-12.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Encountering some difficulty getting through the soft mud to the water's edge.

05-13.jpg 05-13.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): The river bottom is too slippery to stand up on.

05-14.jpg 05-14.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): In fact, it's rather hard to get up again.

05-15.jpg 05-15.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): It makes sense to wash the dishes while down this close to the water.

05-16.jpg 05-16.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Success at last. Now that the cup is clean, might as well get a drink of the nice muddy Colorado River water!

05-17.jpg 05-17.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): The big raft littered with gear.

05-18.jpg 05-18.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Relaxing in the shade. Irene (in the red costume) lying in the foreground.

05-20.jpg 05-20.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): One of the many lovely vistas seen from calm water.

05-21.jpg 05-21.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Spectacular rocks and cliffs.

05-22.jpg 05-22.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Curious rock formations.

05-23.jpg 05-23.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): More strange rock shapes.

05-24.jpg 05-24.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): More of the same.

05-25.jpg 05-25.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Interesting water ahead.

05-27.jpg 05-27.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): In fact, it is quite deflated.

05-28.jpg 05-28.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Now you can see the river where the bladder was.

05-29.jpg 05-29.jpg Text: (Ektachrome): Evening camp on a sandbar.
