Day Three - July 21st:  The moon woke us up early and soon the breakfast bell was rung for crisp bacon and a variety of eggs.  Then we were on our way down the river with our first stop at Pumpkin Springs.  It provided a great diving stop.  Later we had a snack, a few more rapids before our lunch break. We hiked a little bit to see some Indian pictographs and then had tuna pitas for lunch.  Another short float down the river before stopping for a hike to Travity Falls. Awesome!!  Then it was time for the 4 biggest rapids of the trip followed by a watermelon stop in the middle of the river.  We found the campsite for the night and settled in.  Dinner started with shrimp cocktails followed by a surf 'n turf dinner (Rainbow trout & steak).  Our river guides (Laurie, Brian, Melissa & Travis) were dressed in the tuxedos to serve dinner.  A brief sandstorm and then another night under the starts.
