Summary
An early start finds Al and Karin awaiting and ready to go. Things run smoothly, if wet from some big rapids. Al moves between boats, from Kevin to Mike to Larry to Noah, to oversee how each do. Stopping just below Tapeats for lunch required more effort as landings needed quick action before boats were pulled off the small landing.
Crystal and Nicole put on speed an manage a major hike in only two hours while most only went partway, leaving Kevin and Nanci to talk at the boats. The two hikers with the AT expertise enjoyed it, prompting Crystal to plot something bigger. After consulting with Al, Crystal announces a new plan for a five mile hike at Havasu Creek the next day.
The rafts are landed at Deer Creek falls for another hike and three rafts leave early to grab the desired campsite. With their early arrival, Crystal and Noah decide to talk and walk. They find Myleigh practising by herself and don't want to interrupt. Noah consoles Crystal over the changes others experience. The couple also see Joy and Giselle talking together as well as Nanci, Kevin and Buddha having a discussion. Noah explains in general terms that Nanci isn't flirting, but exploring issues of forgiveness.
At the campfire that night, Jon and Tanisha talk about the best day in their lives. Although it includes the reunion with Karin and Crystal,AT15 they can only give generalities about their success with Swallowtail.AT14 Al points out how the reunion relieved his isolation, too.
As a final point, Jon explains how things almost were different. The day Crystal saw a placemat and decided to try the Grand Canyon herself, she missed meeting Jon and Tanisha by minutes. A reunion at that time would have resulted in a different ending.
