Day 2: Bolder hopping to benches above the Colorado.

	Camp.		So I'm climbing up a slope, I look back, and I see everyone hiding behind this bolder.
	240 Million year old bivalve. About 2 inches long.		More fossles. The perfect little shell right of center is about the size of a finger tip.
	Coral ? tubes laying down and in cross section.		240 Million year old sponge.
	More coral tubes.		Twiggy veggitation.
	Pretty purple flowers.		Working down into a small gully.
	Respite from the sun.		Finally reach some easier walking on benches.
	More difficulties in the bolders.		Elizabeth exiting the tunnel.
	This is the kind of terrain we spent most of the day on.		A view back up Dark Canyon and the benches we have been walking on. We have also been carrying 2 days of water.
	Finally camp on this nice bench above the Colorado.		Joe reading a book on his palm pilot.
	"Hey Joe"
