COLORADO RIVER jet boat home 6 of 6

Oh, I was going to say, what made the river trip so expensive is that it cost $160 each to ride the Jet Boat back up the river for three hours. When Amy used to take the Girl Scouts down, they didn’t ride the jet boats but Mineral Bottoms’ road is washed out now. That’s why they chose the Colorado River instead of the Green River. It’s actually the first time Amy, Judy and Jessie have canoed down the Colorado River, even though they’ve been on the Green River several times. Amy thought there was more to see as far as Indian ruins and other points of interest. Of course, with no markers you had to use the river    map, GPS, and have sharp eyes to find the cutouts in the tamarisks. (Judy’s job.)
Judy is a Troop Leader with a very active Girl Scout Troop. They’re going to Washington DC and New York City next summer; last summer they went to Seattle and Vancouver. They’ve been to Costa Rica several times because they have a connection there. They always do service projects. They did a service project down to Amy’s Navajo Trails Camp the weekend before we left.
When we got home,
