We found the cliff where "Chocolate Falls" forms in the spring. No mud today, just some clear water dribbling over the edge. It looked like oasis in the middle of nowhere.

We headed due east along the northern edge of Canyonlands National Park to the Colorado River side. This fin of rock is below Dead Horse Point State Park and just outside of Canyonlands National Park. It's near the "Caveman Airstrip", if you know where that is.
George flew out and back to Elk River in his fast Astra (similar to a QuickR) to get Henry's spare fuel pump. Here's the clever way he attached it to his standard duct tape roll holder in his cockpit.
We flew by the Grand Falls of the Little Colorado River, which by luck had some water running after a fall rainstorm three days earlier. The lead pilot is my friend Paul Dressendorfer.

The slot canyon of the San Raphael River appeared a few miles further downstream. It is deep dark canyon with no escape.

After leaving Mexican Mountain Airstrip, we headed for the Mineral Canyon Airstrip to check our our wings, then fly upstream along the Green River with the sun at our back. Here I am crossing over the edge and diving down into Mineral Canyon
