PierreA classic shot of Pierre on the river. Early afternoon, Day 3.

Brian and RichardBrian and Richard paddled together for most of the trip (except for the 1st and last days). Here they are right after Pierre had come through.

Madera CanyonBeautiful shot of the canyon.

Rock HouseA shot of Rock House about mile 907.

Richard at ChapelRichard in front of the Bandera movie set we ran into on the river. There was a lot more to this area, but it was all movie props.

Near Black Rock CanyonUpriver shot near Black Rock Canyon. Last Day 3 shot.

Above MataderoDay 4. A shot of the Marlers above Matadero Rapids. It's getting quite dramatic on the canyon walls. We are also well inside Big Bend now.

Matadero RapidsThe Pines enter the mouth of Matadero.

Madero CanyonCanyon shot below Matadero.

False Sentinel - First SightingOur first view of False Sentinel.

False Sentinel - Second SightingA little closer to False Sentinel, the "Second Sighting", so to speak. I like the double entendre of this being the second sighting, because it's seconded by the mirrored view in the water. I left my boat nose in the picture for perspective.

Passing False SentinelAnother canyon view as I pass False Sentinel getting ready to enter the long pool to Arroyo San Antonio, seeing the Sentinel, and then getting to the entrance camp above Santa Elena.

Party BargeIt's been a short day, it's early, time for a party barge as we get ready for the showing....

The Sentinel...and the Party Barge arrives in view of the Sentinel.

Self-PortraitA self-portrait at camp above Santa Elena.

Brian and the SentinelThe obligatory I hiked up here to see the Sentinel, so somebody needs to document it shot.

Sentinel and Arroyo San AntonioThe Sentinel and Arroyo San Antonio from the Texas cliffs above the mouth of Santa Elena. Taken Day 4 (Wed) evening.

Mouth of Santa ElenaThe mouth of Santa Elena from a similar Texas cliff viewpoint. You can see our camp below near the river.
