Day 7: Unkar and Chuar

Paddled to Nevills Camp (Mile 75.5), where our camp was illuminated by a nearly-full moon. Sorry that the photos of the moon emerging over the canyon walls didn't come out. (It was worth a try.) On the way to Nevills, we stopped by Chuar and checked out the ruins at Unkar.

If it's okay with Cindy, who are we to argue?
