Pumping from the sediment buckets

Up at 5am for an early start in the cool and shade for a grueling day of hiking

Leaving the beach

Early start out of Toltec Beach

Moving up slope off the river

Key to today is metering water and frequent nutrition

Cactus among levels of rock

Early morning progress in the cool temps

Soaking shirts in brine water for temporary air conditioning

Oooooohhh that's COLD
