A Grand Canyon Odyssey
Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek
July 6 - July 23, 2001

Hermit Mile 95 to Mile 119
July 14, 2001

Dane rows the African Queen	Hermit was an unexpected find with Hermit Creek running clear. Unfortunately, this was where the film in my camera didn't catch, and I was not using the digital camera. So, I don't have pictures of Hermit, Crystal, Elves Chasm, or Thunder River, but we do have video that I hope to put on the site.
Eric whacked me in the head with an oar as we navigated Hermit Rapid, and then we almost ran the hole at Crystal. We stopped for lunch at Mile 108 and visited the "Ross Wheeler". Most of my pictures were taken during the calm water. It doesn't do justice to the 25 miles of rapids we ran during the 226 mile trip.	Eric, Judy and Dane at the "Ross Wheeler" Mile 108
