The Vibram Experiments - Part 3 - Pine Creek

We actually had a real adventure today! We hiked (and swam and rappelled and climbed) Pine Creek in Zion today. May I be the first to say that I feel my (and especially Meisha's) hardcore level jumped a few notches today. Ok, so I'm not really that cocky, but we really had a lot of fun and the sights we saw today were absolutely breathtaking. Because we were swimming and in water most of the time, we could only take a cheap little disposable camera. So sorry, the pictures are quite poor and grainy. We'll have to figure a way to get the good camera through next time. Either way, without further adieu, the pics:

Meisha. Posing. Before things got cold and wet.



This is Kevan. He works with me. At Stephen Wade. He's doing something with the rope. I believe I took this picture because the sunlight in front of him looked much cooler in person.



Meisha and me trekking through the waters, looking as official as possible.



Here we are again, making a bold attempt to show off our coolness.



Meisha. Fresh after a very nice rappel. She came down from up where the light is shining through. I took some really amazing shots of her coming down, but alas, it was too dark and they didn't turn out :(



This is Kevan again. He standing found the only patch of sunshine and is desparately trying to warm up. That water was seriously cold.



This is the last rappel out of the 6 or so (can't quite remember) that we did. It was awesome. 80 foot freefall into a really cool cavern. I wish I would have taken some pics from the top. You're literally coming of the top blind and don't see what you coming in to until you drop in.



Here's Meisha again. Exhibiting her amazing rappelling skills.



Me. Looking very excited. The hike out was not nearly as fun and exciting. Still, some very cool scenery and I picked up a sweet sunburn on my neck.

That's it. Thanks for looking =}

Namaste.

This is amazing, seriously, your hardcore level has definitely increased. I think these pictures actually are really cool, they remind me of a time before digital which actually, is very refreshing.
