After 3000 feet, I have a common bond with them. But we must continue. As we approach Indian Garden, I feel heat building within my sneakers. I worry a bit about this since the hard part lies ahead. We rest at Indian Gardens and watch the mules approach, lining up along the hitching posts.
Several teams arrive and get canyon information from the saddled guides.
Colorado River Premature kudos Back at Indian Garden My feet are cool, and we eat some energy bars and I drink Gatorade. I feel a tad queasy and ask to rest after a short distance. We stay awhile and move on. I try to downplay how I feel, but it soon becomes apparent that I have nausea. Maybe it's a combination of mixing energy bars, Gatorade, apprehension and burning many calories.
