Hi

I tried writing this small note... and small is what it ended up being. Sorry. If you want to read it you will probably have to click on it to enlarge it. Oh well that's what I get for trying something new.

We had a BOY!!

Grand Canyon

***Rim to Rim***

We started at the North Rim Wednesday morning and Hiked 14 miles down and stayed the night at Phantom Ranch, 8 hours latter. Then we awoke and left at sunrise the next morning and finished at the South Rim, 10 miles up and 7 hours latter .

On the way out towards the South Rim we passed "a lot" of mules that were packing supplies and people down to the bottom.

Its really hard to tell but this trail zig zags down and was steep.

What I learned....

***Going down is harder than going up...

***I packed too much food.... lol .....people kept telling me to pack enough food...AND I DID. I gave most of it away at the bottom.

***I met so many different and interesting people from all over the world in those two short days.

***I loved it and would do it again..... YEAH!
