- The birthday boy looks like he’s happy to be here!

- Dan, Tom and Chet hiking up the Virgin River in the Narrows. As the ranger says – it’s like walking on greased bowling balls.
-
- Check out those nifty looking water shoes and snazzy walking sticks!
-
- Mike, Chet and Dan entering Wall Street – up to 2,500ft. sheer straight walls.
-
- Chet, Tom, Mike and Dan – four days of “canyoneering” – that includes hiking, scrambling, sliding, stemming, chimneying and rappelling.
-
- Chet up at the top of a l-o-n-g rappel in Keyhole Canyon.
-
- These rappels were tricky, and set up without a guide.
-
- The group was lucky to score permits to Mystery Canyon. Dan, Stephanie and David Russell, Mary Kay Durant and Mike. Happy campers!
