It was an Incredible and Amazing Adventure!

I cannot yet put into words what this Raft Trip through the Grand Canyon has meant to me. It was the most awesome thing I have ever done and I am so glad that I had Sue and Fred to experience it with (as well as all of the guides and other passengers). It was Absolutely Amazing!

It will take a while to "process" it all but I will be sharing more later. It will be 10 days or more before I get back to Indiana and internet access will be sporadic.

We arrived at Marble Canyon Lodge on Tuesday afternoon (September 16th), got settled in, then went for a short drive to Lee's Ferry where the rafts were already loaded and waiting for departure the next morning. Notice the clear, clean water? Six days later, the water would  start turning brown and then even more brown until it was a very, very muddy river.

Six days into the trip and I'm still smiling! The guide in this raft, K.J., is to my left. Nancy and Tom are the other two passengers on that day - they are 78 and 79 years of age and both have a great sense of humor and incredible sense of adventure. Photo courtesy of Sue Elliott.

Can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip! We've thought about rafting the canyon for years.

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.

I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com

This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
