Off into the Great Abyss

Its been a few weeks since my last entry. I have been loving life at Lake Powell. Work has kept me quite busy, but that's how it goes. We have a great group of people to work with. It makes all the difference.


Recreationally, I've been working on my tan and other beach activities. We are looking into brewing our own beer "Bullfrog Brew" as a hobbie. The fish are starting to bite, just never when I have my pole in the water.


Currently I am at Arches National Park, crashing on another ranger's couch. Tomorrow morning I am headed off into the abyss (Quote from John Wesley Powell, the original Colorado River runner). I am joining rangers from Canyonlands on an assignhment at Cataract Canyon on the border of Glen Canyon and Canyonlands. We will be doing search and rescue for 7 days and camping out on the river. Its going to be a lot to learn, but I am quite excited. Cataract Canyon has world class rapids and with the current snow melt from the rockies, the river is flowing fast.

I will be taking a few photos to share upon my return to civilization.

Untill then, take care.
