Summary
Several Canyon Tours crew and former crew have hiked supplies down to Phantom Ranch, especially Jeff, the bus driver that has never been on a trip until now. While Team 1 await for some troublesome customers that hiked for more beer, Team 2 heads down to ensure an early claim on the preferred stop for the night.
Nicole disliked missing so much from the tranquilizers and plans on changing that. Boats are more crowded now and Randy and Nicole meet Michelle and her very young looking parents. Rachel was the second woman boatman with Canyon Tours after Louise. Talk turns to Randy's first aid experience, including on his prior trip.
While customers explore a side canyon, Canyon Tours has a staff meeting, working out crew assignments. We learn how good Michelle is at management, but she's clear in her demands to get out of the office. As the meeting breaks up, Karin finds out Al's secret plan for more time together and getting his prospective boatmen more experience, gear boats!
