View of Hance Rapid from the scouting spot.

Here are the guides scouting Hance...Too bad I didn't think to run around and get a picture of their faces instead of just the backs of their heads. Anyway, it's Chelsea who DID get the good shot, and then L to R, Elk in blue, Jimmy, Lyndsay, Kyle, Trey and Dave.
It's not easy to say enough about our guides without getting sappy. Now I know they’re all on to their next river trip, or adventure, but for me, this was one of the most memorable times of my life, and they were the sine qua non. Those 13 intimate days with those AWESOME people was a blast! I really do miss them all and hope our paths cross again, sooner rather than later.
