Day 3 - Spencer Canyon to River Mile 274
The lowering of Lake Mead has left
20-30 foot high silt banks
for shoreline. These are continously eroding away and the
resulting collapses
are both a hazard and a nuisance. They did not help
my eyesight
to get caught in one either. From lower Quatermaster to Pearce, the established camps disappear and
free form sandbar camping
is the only choice. Although
this sandbar
got a thumbs-down from the crew, the experienced hands thought another one not likely and it
was not that bad
. It was
close quarters though
and the snoring was obnoxious. The last
hail storm
was a stunner.
