Plans
for this trip of a lifetime began after participating on a private river
trip in October, 1990. I got on the Grand Canyon National Park noncommercial
river permit wait list in February 1991 and expected a 9-10 year wait.
My brother, Eric, applied only a year later, and will finally have his
permit in 2007. The National Park Service is in the midst of a huge reorganization
of how river trips are allocated for the Colorado River through Grand
Canyon.
I was allowed to take 16 participants
on this trip. We ended up with a great mix of people with many talents,
and each person brought humor, patience and a sense of adventure. |
