Dave checking out Deubendorff rapid (mile 132)
Deubendorff rapid, like most on this trip was at it's highest rating because river levels
were so low. In this photo you can see how many obstacles there were to negotiate.

Tapeats Creek
Bob at Thunder River
Thunder River is an amazing spring that just blasts out of the north side of the
Grand Canyon. It must be one of the worlds shortest rivers though as it only flows a mile
till it dumps into Tapeats Creek.
