Yankee Doodle Canyon

This was the beginning of our journey down the Yankee Doodle Canyon, and as demonstrated earlier, there are only so many ways down a canyon. We've covered hiking, swimming and stemming, now we'll add some rappelling!













I had to use David as a latter for some of the decents(notice the foot prints on his shouler)
I later said it must have been a drag for the boys to worry about and assist the girls down the canyon, David said, "Are you kidding me? It was the best part! Makes me feel like a man!"





You have to see it for yourself....









Our tour guide, Bret


This was about 80 feet or so...



80 footer cont'd



This was the beginning as well, you wouldn't even know it existed






It got darker and colder the further you went down, down, down...









I always struggle at first, but then get the hang of it, and it becomes a thrill!


Thank you Bret for showing us so many amazing things that weekend. We look forward to the next trip sometime this summer! And thank you Jess for sacrificing your husband for a weekend and letting us crash at your place...next time we'll supply the Red Bull's ;)

Julia, that looks so freakin' rad! I am so glad you got to go on a vacation and have so much fun. You are SO brave! When I was looking at the pics I was like, "Go FGM!"

Umm wow, you really are BRAVE! I felt a little claustrophobic looking at some of those pictures. I bet it was a huge rush for you guys though! I am glad that you both were able to get out and have some fun!!

What a cool trip you guys got to take! Aaron is pretty jealous! I think you are brave too, I don't know if I could handle being in that tight of a space! Cute pics though, looks like it was lots of fun!
