I was just informed about a website dedicated to the Havasupai flood. There, you can visit links to people's personal accounts, and view photos and slideshows. Having been up top on the rim the whole time, I personally didn't have any idea what it was like at the bottom. I'd hear bits and pieces and have to extrapolate and imagine the rest. But visit http://www.havasupaiflood.com to get the real scoop you can't get from the news media. Some great before-and-after photos too. Thank you Josh Kaggie for putting the site together and informing me about it.
Also, on another note, in yesterday's post I said I could just feel my little pager wanting to sing again. Well, it did. Another rescue on Mt. Elden in the "Waterfall" area, which seems to be a relatively common occurance. The call-out was for a technical rescue, but no request was made for additional ground-pounder help carrying tech gear up the mountain, as they did earlier this month. So my husband and I finished our sushi dinner and I took the night off. There's always next time....
