Got some "cracking mud" pics for my material science class and some nice slot canyon pics:
We kind of wore Aaron out, but he hung in there. The last day, we made a deal that I would carry his pack until I could pass him (he gave me some rest periods where he carried his pack). I caught up to him at the end, but I had to sneak, run, then sprint!
The river was really high and flowing the whole way, so we were in the water the whole time. I wish I wouldn't have brought my shoes: I never used them. The water was the consistency of chocolate milk, and pretty much coated your skin. It was impossible to keep clean!
One thing I hadn't done before: we had to carry out our solid (and sometimes not-so-solid) waste in these little silver bags. This is me holding up all of our trophies!
Awesome trip: loads of thanks to all those who lent us their equipment and vehicles!!!!
