Rafting Through Narrow Canyons

“Lazy river days” were anything but lazy. Our 9 person crew loaded and unloaded a full kitchen and all of our gear as well as the “groover” each of the 21 days. My favorite chore was the Groover (the shitter lol), because it was much easier than cooking or dishes, which we rotated every day. Chores were carried out by “camp day” so cooking was dinner, breakfast (at first light which got earlier each morning) and lunch. It was really neat to see how careful and prepared we were to not leave any trace behind, including micro debris like crumbs or human waste (“bring out your dead!”). I developed some incredible habits on this adventure and while my hands were destroyed and my body ached, I am now so much stronger than before and able to do so much more in the future.
