Day 21 on the Grand
Lots of derigging, a long, hot process that somehow went by super fast. Huge trailer full of our crap (literally). A group of us rode on top of all the gear as we ascended out of the canyon, about an hour, toward Peach Springs. Said our goodbyes to the Potsdam crew (except for Don and Dave who would ride back to Lee’s Ferry with us). We are very glad that we don’t have to go through Vegas today. 
Right at dusk a tire in Sparky’s dually blows. It takes us about 15 minutes to get warm clothes and change the tire. Sparky drops us off at our cars at Lee’s Ferry with all of our stuff. We say our goodbyes to the river and to Dave and Don and head down the road in the dark night for food and a place to sleep. Burgers and fish and chips at a late dinner at Cliff Dwellers. A hotel room in Kanab. We left the shower pretty dirty. Very sleepy.
