Mile 62.5 to Hance Mile 77
July 12, 2001


Three Miles kids
The wind came up and we took the next campsite we came to after visiting the Little Colorado. Things were cramped at Mile 62.5 and not everyone wanted to sleep on the sand dune or next to the river.

Eric gets a chance to start writing postcards to be mailed out on the
mules at phantom ranch.

Dane reads

While Judy and Heath write, and "Doc" Cindy (our nurse practitioner) treats Dave's feet. We ended up with sunburns, foot problems because of constant wet feet, scratches, and bruises, but no major injuries or illness. We were prepared for nearly anything.
