Dave,

What canyon? The Grand one on the US side of the pond? Trip report??

Sorry for not being able to help you out with RBP ongoings Dave, much
to my surprise I've been too busy with work to keep up with all the
forums that I frequented lately (when I was in between projects).

Here is a sort of trip report. As you will work out there was a problem
with language - we had three Americans and at least half a dozen Scots
(Hence a Burns supper either 271 days late or 94 days early) on the
trip.

Explanations if required later!

Ah, that would help, especially since I'm already at a loss for
words...

But... the way you write your trip report, it's easy to turn it into a
very fun story even if you (ehm, i.e. *I*) don't understand half of
what was described, let alone of what really went on during the trip!
;-)

Park ranger passes himself off as 'Dept Homeland Security' and tries to
deport Andy J
House rock - 1st big rapid; and helicopter

Was the helicopter at least black?

Robin - crapper in chief and place man for the groover (and now we all
know why it's called a groover..)

What is a "groover"? From your descriptions it sounds like a kind of
sanitary ditch, but I guess it's a river feature in a rapid somewhere
on th GC?

Granite: Andy J places very large deposit in opposition's groover. Well
done Andy!

bit of the English language and its idiosyncracies))
