People on hike: Brad, Justin, Greg, Keven, Maya

 

The original plan was to go down Tanner wash to Hot Na Na. We ran into a permit fiascoe and ended up trying to do the South Fork of Badger Creek. The ranger at Lee's Ferry said that it would be a great hike that we could do with the limited time we had. The hike turned out to have a 30 foot drop off. We went back to the car and decided to do Soap Creek, only a few miles down river. The group was a great combination, we all got along great. We ran into a couple of dry falls and managed to down climb around them. We got to camp on the bank of the Colorado River. In the morning a couple of the guys went up to a rafting party camped upstream and convinced them to give a ride in the rafts. Justin and Greg got to ride the Soap Creek rapids and hop out at the bottom. From here they hiked back to our camp and we left. Justin's pants were wet so he decided that it would be best to hike out in his breifs. He was kind enough to hike at the back of the group. So all in all, Underwear Boy and the Grunt group made it out after a great hike.
