I might have mentioned I'm the only female, of a group of 10. I only know two people on the trip, and only one is considered a good friend. The majority of the group is from the east coast, and I live in Seattle.
These are merely minor concerns.
The real fears revolve around my Lyme disease. Me telling you that doesn't mean much of anything. And frankly, it feels a little weird to be telling you all this. But, this is my life. And these are the things I think about while planning and preparing for this trip.

Grand Canyon 2012: Pre-Trip Report
Wanna go?
Where?
Grand Canyon. 10 days. Self-support. 1/29/12.
Hell yeah!!! It's only the "trip of a lifetime!" This message came early December, leaving about a month and a half for planning, packing, and wrangling any additional gear needed for the trip.

Self-supporting the Selway... August 2011
 |
| Paradise put-in on the Selway River, Idaho |
In August, I got the chance to do my first multi-day and first self-support river trip on the Selway in Idaho. The Selway is known as a tough river to get a permit for, but due to the record snow melt of 2011, the water kept flowing after the permit season closed on July 31st. Some other folks planning to join us bailed, so it was just Tom and me.
