Clay in My Boots: A Romp Through My Genealogical Past

Our call to Coffee and OJ, then breakfast of bagels, yogurt, and peaches; included a request to pre-pack sandwich for lunch to save time when we made our lunchtime stop. After a half-dozen rapids including Bedrock, Deubendorff, and Upset Rapids we arrived at our surprise destination. For our lunch break, we stopped at Habasu Canyon. After shimmying along a cliff face above the rapids (with life vests on), we headed back into the Chasm without vests, joking that the fall would kill us before we hit the water. Eventually we made it to shore level after passing a beautiful waterfall and were treated to the most gorgeous place on Earth. The oasis was too amazing to be real. It truly looked like a Theme Park set with aquamarine flowing water, tropical plants, orange boulders, and a lush grassy knoll. We crossed a stream and enjoyed our sandwiches.  Trent passed us by claiming we’d find bikini clad girls around the next bend, but we waited at our relaxation spot for reports upon his return.
