Ryan didn't mention that this was his first canyon trip without dad
I couldn't go because we had a party planned for the following day that I had cancelled once before to hit the canyons. If I cancelled again it would have been my last canyon trip.
Captain Dave told me he was very glad he took Ryan along as he did the most work out of everybody else. At first he didn't think he would go without me, I said, "Are you kidding he'd go without both of us if the opportunity presented itself".
Congratulations Ryan on a nice "solo" trip out there...
