 At end of trail, we must go up-river
|  At this point, Kathy needed to bug out, due to cold-deep water
|  However, she was shaking quite a bit when taking pictures of Jef | ||
 This is just after Kathy turned back, just shy of getting past the one, somewhat deep -- about 4' -- area

|  After Kathy bugged out of Narrows, we decided to to another gnarly hike:
| ANGELS LANDING | ||

|  Jef and Kathy midway to Angel's Landing   We turned around here! | ||
  'The Thinker': "If she doesn't want to turn around now.... how can I fake an injury??"
|  What's that? You want to turn around? 
|  YAY!!! | ||
|  Note the double bus 1200' below by the river
