Supai Canyon trip turns into race for high ground

Williams resident Joel Masson is lucky to be alive. What started as a simple camping excursion with friends turned into a night Masson will never forget. The group, along with roughly 170 others, were forced to flee Supai Canyon in the middle of the night Aug. 16 due to rising flood waters.
