ORDERVILLE CANYON HIKE Day 3 Part 3...THE END

Day 3 part 3

We literally “cheered” when we hit the convergence of the “Narrows” for now we were in familiar territory.

<



The "Narrow's were a "cake walk" compared with what we had just experienced.

All in all I am glad that I did it. It is like having a baby...

You forget about what it was really like until you try it again.

ONCE do you hear me ONCE!!!!

Happy Day...all is well.

WOMAN WHO DO IT.......

CONNIE, JEN, ME, SALLY, BRENDA

.......AND LIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT!!!

THE END

PS:

6 Things I learned on this trip:
1.
There is a difference between a “hiker” and a “canyoneer”.
I am the former, not the later.
2.
When Brenda says “Colleen, have you read the info on this Hike”?
And I say “NO” and she says “Read it.….read it NOW”
I will be afraid….I will be very afraid…...
3.
In the immortal words of Scott C, Brenda’s husband, I will heed to his words”
“Have you looked at your driver’s license lately?”
4.
I can do anything ONCE….
Are you listening Connie and Jen?
ONCE….JUST ONCE.!!!
5.
When hiking a trail and I casually ask a hiker passing by:
“Would you let your mother do this”…
And he looks at you with total sincerity and says:
“No”
I will turn around at that moment and go back.
[This same hiker, who had a “UTE” baseball cap, saw us over the last few hard places to safety. I ask my self, would my own stranger BYU Cougar have done that? Hmmm. For at least a day I was a “UTE” fan.]

6.

Internet Joe tells you what he thinks you want to hear. He makes it sound like a fun little day hike. It took us 10.5 hours to go 10 miles. OK, so part of it was fun.. and I did it ONCE!!

THE END

REALLY!!
