Finally after 5 nights mooring in and exploring from Forbidding Canyon (and 8 so far on the boat) we returned upstream... As it turned out, back to the same, earlier, shady campsite in Ribbon Canyon! Where I spent 2 more nights aboard before Diana and I got a speedboat ride back to Bullfrog to exit the trip earlier than the others.

After mooring we all went out in Steve's speedboat for a 3.5 hour tour of the Escalante Arm.
