Grand Canyon High Water, 1983: Glen Canyon Damn Nearly Busts!

This is an updated version of when the Bureau of Wreck The Nation nearly lost Glen Canyon Damn, then of course came up with all sorts of reasons why it wasn't their fault. Read The Emerald Mile for some great history on that plus the dory speed run on 100,000 cfs! We river runners got the rides of our lives. At the first presentation of this compilation at the Guides Training Seminar, the few remaining guides who'd been there all came up to me and said: "What the f**k were we thinking?" ;-) Other guides get sick of us silverbacks retelling the tale, but it was a milestone in our lives. Anyone with any footage or photos of that event please contact me. Enjoy!
