The adventure crew got up early and put on the appropriate gear for our assault on the Virgin River. Even though the water was 39 degrees the equipment kept us warm for the entire trip. We were in the river about eighty percent of the time. It was a spectacular hike, and one we had to get off our life list. A concern in these canyon hikes is a sudden rise in water level. The Virgin River is fed by snow melt and the temperature today was over eighty degrees. I think it was our imagination, but we both thought the river was rising. The people who gave us the gear said to seek high ground and sit it out. In some areas, there is no high ground. After careful observation, we decided there were no problems. It seems some of the river goes underground at times and reappears. I think this was the problem.
Lord Kadizzle kept a sharp eye for virgins. Although several women were spotted, none appeared to be virgins. It remains to be found out if the Virgin River is the source for Alqueda's endless supply of virgins for suicide bombers. Apparently we did not go far enough.
One danger in the process was stumbling into unexpected deep spots. Only once did this cause concern. Her Lordship stepped into a pool without checking carefully and just about had a good dousing. She managed to avoid a complete soaking. However, the camera is acting odd, and perhaps it took on some water.
