My limit is (about) a 7 or 8 day trip, and I want to avoid the
climb-out
at Phantom ranch which i couldn't do anymore, so I guess I'm forced to
consider a trip that ends up further downstream at Lake Mead.

to which Myron replied:

You
are SO gonna regret doing a half trip.


Ignore my poor reading skills. You are SO GONNA be glad you are doing the
entire river, and feel SO BAD for those folks hiking out on day 8....
