Somewhere in Bridge Canyon around Mile 240 the river runs into Lake Mead, or at least it would if Lake Mead wasn't drying up. As it is, the lake is so low that there are new rapids forming 40 miles downstream, and we have to get to Pearce Rapid before we can switch to the jet boats for the ride out. We arrived at South Cove around 2 in the afternoon on Day 14 - five hours later we were back in Flagstaff. I hit the shower. D turned on the TV. We already knew Michael Jackson had died, but we knew little else -- like how D's fantasy teams were doing.
