  2. Rob's Trips

2014 Grand Canyon Trip

An amazing trip down the Grand Canyon with two totally blind kayakers,, Erik Weihenmayer and Lonnie Bedwell. The night we took out at Lee's Ferry was a crazy night of torrential rains and frequent thunder and lightning. The next day we were stranded for most of the day on the the wrong side of the way out. Some of us had fun regardless.

Lightning illuminated clouds just after midnight.

  • Lightning illuminated clouds just after midnight.
  • Arjun and Kami looking a little nervous.
  • 7 AM, pissing down rain.
  • Cool, calm and collected, Rene sipping coffee. Not that nervous as she has her escape boat in the dock next to her tent.
  • Timmy having a bit more trouble than the others.
  • What a kid does when you have to wait on all the adults.
  • Harlan wondering, how the hell are we going to get out of here.
  • Floodwaters caused a breach in the wall protecting the road.
  • Perhaps more mud than water.
  • The group, checking out the view.
  • The view. The road is pretty much impassable.
  • These gullies formed in just a few hours as the water rushed down from the slopes above.
  • While waiting, Erik got a little frisky and threatened to throw his daugher Emma into the swollen river.
  • She got the last laugh as Erik started sinking into the mud bottom.
  • Perhaps a new art form, MudArt?
  • Nice!
  • New pals, Lonnie and Kim hiking back from the river.
  • The staff was not impressed and took advantage of the wait to catch some shuteye.
