| | Colorado River Canoe Trip 1978 |
 | | When I was a graduate student, the university outing club organized a four day canoe trip down the Colorado River, from Needles to Lake Havasu. |
 | | None of us had any experience with canoes, so we spent several evenings and weekends in the pool and in local lakes, practicing getting into a capsized canoe, swimming fully clothed, maneuvering, and so forth. |
 | | In one of the other canoes were two geology majors, who were constantly pointing out facts and details of the the formations we were passing through. |
