I was luck enough to go on a rafting trip with the Wyrobeks and the Simmons (and 7 others) last week. Below is a short excerpt of the beginning of our trip, before my camera died. Poor camera. As I get more photos from the other people in the trip, I'll continue the page. There are far more photos than this, but I think these give a good feeling of what it was like.

I love panoramic shots. This is Sonya and Mono Lake (640)(800)(1024)(orig)
After a good day of driving, we took a group photo by Mono Lake (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	We camped at French Camp (by Tom's Place) and (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	frolicked by the river. (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
The next day we saw some Joshua Trees! Neat, huh? (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	We watched Mystere, by the Circue du Solei and took pictures by the snail. It was an incredible show. (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	Then we went to explore the Venitian (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
We saw a cute boatman (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	The rest of the group waited too long to eat food while Lauren and I wandered the strip (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	We saw the fountain show outside the Belagio (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
The next day, we drove through Zion National Park and were greeted by a beautiful moonrise (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	We took another group photo. (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	Zion has amazing geology (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
As always, it's more impressive in person... (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	Edie and Sonya and I rode most of the way through sticking our heads out of the sunroof... (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	And we finally arrived in Marble Canyon (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
where we stayed the night in a neat little apartment. (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	Early th next morning, we went down and got on the river! (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	The river was sometimes calm (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
and sometimes not. :) (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	We found a great little spot to have lunch (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	and Mike, our guide, caught 3 fish! (we didn't eat them though) (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
The awesome scenery just keeps on going... (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	though it is broken by the occasional excitement (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	when Mike would give us little speaches before each rapid (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
and then we get wet! (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	But Thom knows how to kick back and warm up again. (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	We saw a bunch of longhorn sheep all up and down the canyon, including a whole family later on! (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
To take a break for the afternoon, we played softball in this cave. It's an incredible spot. (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	You can tell Mike loves his job. (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	Our whole week was spent sleeping in places like this. Rough, I know. (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
Keenan, Kathy, Bart, Lauren, and Lindsey (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	We stopped to look at some old Anistasi ruins, and came across this tree (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	After hiking a ways up the (hot) hillside, we came across a Kodak Moment (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
It was a popular spot for photos. (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	These were old granaries. The Anistizi would store stuff up here where it was dry (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	That evening we spent the night in Furnace Flats. It was actually the coldest night of the trip... (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)
We got to have an awesome sunset to top off the fine dinner of BBQ Chicken (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	But we got to run another rapid early the next morning (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)	And we got nice and cold nice and quick... ;) (640) (800) (1024) (orig) (info)

but then my camera died. It was very sad. So this will be continued later on!

p.s. I spelled Anistazi and Nankoweep wrong. Could you tell me how to spell them correctly? Any other errors gladly corrected as well.
