| Mile 41.5 Sept. 1962 Approaching
Crossing of the Fathers, savoring the last rays of sunlight before we have
to take out and head for home -- knowing that this may be our last encounter
with Glen Canyon.
When we landed, we found many, many little khaki shelters scattered all over the bar. It was the movie production company making "The Greatest Story Every Told." Now, when we see that movie, the shots of John the Babtist at the Jordan River brings back heart wrenching memories of that moving river, our gentle, living river--which we know as the Colorado River in Glen Canyon. |
| Jan. 1963 This was
the most common take-out point for float trips.
Here, however, we are putting in on a special trip to explore just Labyrinth Canyon. Afterward, we packed our boats across the desert, across the river from Labryinth, to the Crossing of the Fathers road. |
