Grand Canyon - Day 4 - Saturday 4/24/2021

The ram’s horn called us to Coffee and again to Breakfast Burritos as we packed up for Rapid Day. We were promised 53 rapids today, more than the prior 3 days put together. Our first rapid of the day was Hance (8 of 10) that I took in my usual spot out on the left side of the “rack.”   It was non-stop rock ‘n roll as we approached Phantom Ranch and the Kaibab Suspension Bridge. Folks above were taking pictures as we passed by. I called out asking if they’d share ... they seemed receptive until I called out my mobile number then the ignored me (nasty landlubbers.) We continued to enjoy rapids minute by minute including Rancid Tuna and the Gems. At Ruby Rapid (I have a dog named Ruby) I again lost my balance and this time was my legs through forward and I ended up on my back laughing hysterically ... no Lauren rescue, but I gave the audience a show.   Ruby Rapid:  https://youtu.be/70k_rcJWXOE 25 Min of Non-stop Action:  https://youtu.be/mRnKM2wlVFU  (updated) We stopped for a sandwich lu
