Day 7 (Mile 96)

Very strange day today, 5 of our people are only doing the upper part of the canyon so they leave us today. It is wired you only know people for a week but the goodbyes are very hard.

Spent the morning around Phantom Ranch, which is the first meeting with ‘civilsation’ in a week. Not sure how to take this, but a nice change of pace. Sent some postcards from the bottom of the canyon which is odd but cool thing to do.

We then waited for our 7 new people who are doing the bottom canyon. They all seam nice enough it is just a wearied transition into what is becoming a tight group. The afternoon had some of the best rapids to date so fun was had by all on the paddle boat.
