What follows is my account of an 18-day rafting trip down the Colorado
River in the Grand Canyon, starting September 17, 2004. This is a private trip arranged by our
permit-holder, Mona, who has been on the waiting list for over a decade. She’s offered the fifteen of us the
opportunity to go with her on this 225-mile adventure. Now you can come along for the ride...
