Back home and reunited with sweet Hannah. She's all excited about the presents Dad and Mom brought her.

Reunited after 2½ wonderful weeks.

Five days after we walked out, the rest of the crew floated into Lake Mead. We got our friend and neighbor, Jeff Whampner, to help us with his boat to tow the rafts the final miles of calm water to Sandy Cove to derig. (We couldn't get out at Pierce's Ferry, the traditional takeout 17 miles sooner, because the water in Lake Mead was so low that Pierce's was landlocked).

Saying goodbye to the best babysitters a little girl could ask for - Grandpa and Grandma.
