| Ivan's Flip At Lava Falls - Grand Canyon | ||||||||||

| Big Bertha - the hole at Lava Falls on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. The current must've pulled Ivan's boat right into her. "Busted the welds on the frame too!" said Ivan. If anyone has paid homage to the River Gods, it's Ivan. After the flip, Ivan was re-cycled (or perhaps Maytagged?) and also swam "Son of Lava". "And I lost my best straw hat!" This was the first rafting trip for the young lady at the front or should I say the top - or soon to be under the boat. She joined the group at Phantom Ranch and even after riding through monster rapids such as "Granite", she asked Ivan "So, when does the fun start?" Little did she know. . . |
