Grand Canyon Dreaming

After 8 days rafting thru the Grand Canyon in May, I dreamed every night about riding down the Colorado River.  During the day we (fourteen souls) bounced down the river rapids on a big raft driven by our experienced guides from Arizona Raft Adventures.  We took side hikes to see the beautiful turquoise water of the Little Colorado, the ancient pictograms, and canyon waterfalls.  At night we slept on cots thrown down in the sand a few feet from the river, and lay under innumerable stars and (later) the full moon.  Any light for reading brought swooping bats and moths.  Had to do a couple of drawings/paintings, just to get the experience out of my daily consciousness.

This view is from the Navaho Bridge at the beginning of our trip, near put-in at Lee's Ferry.
