Not heading up to Havasu Falls

Blog

First 1/2 mile today on Charly's boat with Kris and Andy

Yes, Havasu Falls is as I remembered it. Kris and Andy wanted to be in front, so they took off. I didn't want to go, so though I was in the front of the beginning, I drifted to the back after the break/gathering point at a big pool.

Josh showed us (Sonia, Michael, Adam, Pam and me) a good stopping point. He convinced me to keep going, but I stopped about three mintues afte rrealizing the pace he was setting was both outside my comfort zone and way past the pace I wanted to go. I turned back to spend the morning with the Js: Jaffe and Jorgensons. I learned how to play Botticelli, (even if I couldn't spell it in my notes) where you think of people to stump each other in a guessing game.

As a side note, Susan fell early in this hike and injured (deformed) her wrist. She's still down at the boats, and didn't make it to the Olympic Pool gathering point. If her wrist is broken, she'll be helicoptered out. When I heard about the incident, I told Josh about a previous trip of mine to the Grand Canyon, with Kristy and Charles, and how Charles was helicoptered out. Fun.
