We're OK!


For those of you who are watching the news and may be freaking out that Clint and I died in a flash flood or were one of the ones who were stranded in a tree... we're ok! Yes, we were caught in a flash flood in the bottom of the main canyon, but we were able to wait out the brunt of it on a great big rock and then managed to hike out, well... more like climb, jump over smaller parts of the flood and scramble through places that people with monsterous packs usually don't even pretend they can fit through! All in all, it was SO FUN! (Freaky, yes. Scary, yes. But it made us feel adventurous, you know?) :) We were able to get a video of the flood coming at us, and a lot of great pictures, so I'll post them hopefully tomorrow, depending on when I can get my sister's pictures from her. She, her husband and my brother WERE stuck down in the canyon at the village and had to be helicoptered out. Clint is SO jealous! :) Anyway, more as soon as I can manage! Just wanted to let you all know that we are home safe and sound!

Yeah, your dad was just telling us about that tonight. I'm glad you guys are ok. That must have been kind of exciting! I would be mad about not getting to ride in the helicopter too. :o)

I'm so glad you guys were okay! Sas and I were wondering if you guys were there and made it out okay. This will be a story you can tell your grandkids and they'll be amazed!

Wow, definitely sounds like an adventure! Glad you got out okay, but sorry the helicopter didn't have to rescue you. ;-)
