Hi DSD,
I've looked over your three blogs and have enjoyed each of them. What an original endeavour and I would love to find a Summit Stone when I'm backpacking.
I would too!

I just completed my second kayak trip down the Grand Canyon and was fortunate to come upon a stone you had left at Spencer Canyon (Mile 246). I first looked though the bag then told one of the rafters in my group, one that enjoyed geo-caching, there was a small geo-cache, located about 150 feet away. When I came back she was reading the Adventure Muse and told me it appeared it was meant to be kept. Not wanting to disturb someone's 'monument' it took some convincing to get me to keep it. The clincher was the kayak paddle on the back of the book. I knew then it was left by a fellow yaker and, if I didn't take it, it would likely wind up in the hands of commercial rafting customer that may not appreciate the significance of the gift.
Yes, I did take it, not knowing exactly what I would, or should, do with it, but it has come to be my most cherished momento of my trip...I was a solo kayaker supporting a group of 7 rafters. It was a bit lonely and stressful at times (2 raft flips/swims)not having a fellow boater around, but the stone indicated to me the river gods were watching over me.
Thank you DSD...if it is meant to be passed on to another in a land of adventure, I will respect that and ensure it gets placed somewhere appropriate. But if not, I will keep it as a memory stone, a reminder of the great adventure and fortune I had in the Grand Canyon.
Hello Anonymous...
Thank you so much for your Grand Canyon experience comments...
Please keep that Summit Stone & Adventure Muse. Passing something forward can be about sharing anything, with another you see on their own journey...
It always resonates with me when someone such as youself becomes a 'finder'... Your trip sounds like it was terrific, challenging... and an amazing adventure!
I'll bet you are already musing about the next one.....
