Rogue Storm hits us while Kayaking Marble Canyon | Lees Ferry, Arizona

[@HolisticHikes]

beautiful skies and so incredibly tranquil when the rain hit in that canyon. Amazing!

[@TheNotLostNomad]

Thanks! Yeah before the storm hit it was actually an amazing experience to be out on the water in the rain.

[@HolisticHikes]

looked like it, and the rain made it so cozy! @@TheNotLostNomad

Thanks for Sharing!

[@TheNotLostNomad]

You bet!

It’s been awhile since I watched Jerry’s video of this trip. Always cool to see how you two tell the same story from a different perspective.

[@TheNotLostNomad]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I’m the same way…we always love seeing what the other comes up with! I have a hard time competing with the speed that Jerry edits. He can crank out a high quality video so fast. I have to be in the right headspace before I can edit… so that usually makes it take a while for me.

[@MakazHome]

Holy shit!! Glad u guys made it out ok. Tfs 🤙🏽🌸

[@TheNotLostNomad]

Thanks…yeah it went from being fun to life threatening quickly. Good lesson learned!

[@Thatcntrygirl1]

Oh my Clint!!!! I Learned to always pack for every type of situations . Even being stranded..fire starter pot, life straw, etc.. so so glad you at least had worm dry clothes!! Did Jerry have some warm fry clothes too?

[@TheNotLostNomad]

Yes! We had everything to camp including dry clothes. But when it’s storming it’s a challenge to access everything…we were about to put up a tent…pull off the wet clothes and replace with dry ones. So glad we didn’t have to resort to two dudes changing in a tent!

Yikes! That could have ended badly if you didn't get cell reception. Getting wet in cold weather is bad news. I got caught in a storm once while doing a 12 mile hike & 12 mile bike ride back to my car. I didn't have rain gear cause there was only a 10% chance. Even though it was 80 before the storm I was shocked at how cold I got waiting for the storm to pass. I learned my lesson to always be prepared for anything after that experience. Thanks for the video.

[@TheNotLostNomad]

Yeah I’m definitely thankful that the cell phone worked…we always joke about having to resort to cuddling to increase body heat. That’s as close as I ever want to be to that becoming a reality. Man that hike sounds like a rough day…those are not fun to endure but the lesson you take away is valuable. What was the trail you were hiking?

[@mattfroeming640]

@@TheNotLostNomad I was hiking a section of the Ice Age Trail in WI. That day was pretty wild. Lightning was striking all around me & a tree even blew over. My bike ride was on a dirt/gravel road so I was sprayed with mud by the time I got back to my car. Nothing a double bacon cheeseburger & fries wouldn't cure though! LOL!

[@TheNotLostNomad]

@@mattfroeming640ah man…sounds like a crazy hike! Makes that celebration meal taste that much better!

[@Shargur]

What month of the year was this in? Glad y'all made it out!!!

[@TheNotLostNomad]

Thank you! This was back in March….a little cooler back then!

[@conorkcarroll]

Wow! Do you remember the general temperature when you did this? I'm headed up there in two days to do the same.. forecast looks pretty good tho

[@TheNotLostNomad]

Hey, sorry if this is too late. If I remember correctly it was upper 40’s to mid 50’s. Hope your trip went well!

[@conorkcarroll]

No worries man! I was just curious.. Trip was awesome thx it was such a cool experience.. hopefully you get to do it again in better weather if you haven't already! Cheers @@TheNotLostNomad

[@TheNotLostNomad]

Glad to hear it man! Yeah that is an incredible canyon! Glad it went well!

[@Southwest_Trailblazers]

Yikes!

[@650gringo]

Actually, that is not Marble Canyon. You are in Glen Canyon. Marble starts below Lee's Ferry. You're welcome.

[@RJPayne]

If you don’t know Jerry I don’t know what to tell you smh

[@TheNotLostNomad]

Nothing that happened that day was Jerry’s fault. We both ignored some danger signs leading up to it. And the storm was seriously out of nowhere and intense. I think 6 people ended up losing their lives in Buckskin Gulch during that storm.

[@RJPayne]

@@TheNotLostNomad oh I know I was meaning to imply that Jerry is the GOAT

[@TheNotLostNomad]

Yeah man I agree! He keeps inspiring me to do more!

[@shanefanon]

Is there a reason NOT to be wearing a flotation Life vest ?, I mean , really , just how damn stupid is that ?
