Gray Canyon was more of the same barren canyonscape that I have seen a lot of this last few years and I already missed Desolation Canyon. With the last of the homemade apple pie gone, flipping/pinning in Rattlesnake (4) or any of the remaining rapids held no threat. You don't find many friends of 36 years to run rivers with. There must be an unspoken agreement not to talk politics though.
