Truth and Proof

We knew we’d make Phantom Ranch that night after seeing this clear shot of The Colorado… but that didn’t prevent the “Breakdown,” which occurred just around this bend.

Edvard Munch-like apparitions referenced in the book fed the disorienting endogenous effects generated from the cold and the drama.
