But there are some things a mother doesn’t have to know! What I am happy to know is about all the historical places you are experiencing. For this easterner who has never seen the canyon you make these places real. I am struck by parallels with so many places in China and in Peru. Keep up the great posts.

The river makes a big bend to the right as one attempts to pull in, and there is no eddy. Rather, the current wants to carry you right past camp. Last year, Tom and Hazel both exhorted us rookie rowers to “never give up,” even when it seemed that the current would carry you way beyond your pull-in. At Tanner, like Tom, I found myself too far from shore and drifting past camp. As I put my back into the oars, with my arms muscles burning, I could hear Tom and Hazel both shouting “never give up.” Thank God, I made it to shore before going around the bend. Whew!
