| Yeah... you probably drag yourself back to the house by 4am after your wild nights out. It's good to make it to bed before 4:30 am! :five: |

| We actually got going about 4:45 and were on the trail by 7:30am. This short cut is the way to go! It was only 2 hours to get to the canyon floor, then another 2 hours to the river. The weather was great!!! 80 degrees at the river, then cool and shady for our hike out of the canyon. At the end of the day we could feel a storm starting to settle in. |

| Yes, the weather was magnificent! We could not have asked for anything better! I think the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon is my favorite place. It was hard to leave! |

Thanks Felicia.....
I figured you were wondering Kurt...
He laughed about your out of the frying pan and into the fire statement a couple of times on the hike down into the canyon.
Bob had a rough time on the hike down. His legs starting shaking after we hit the Esplanade. He made it down to South Canyon and rested there for a couple of hours until Bo and I made it back from the river. We picked up a Doctor though.... so Bob had lots of attention on the hike out from Both Doc John and Bo. He was thrilled with what he was able to do even though he did not make it to the river. He was great company and a joy to be around!
On the other trip.. It's good Bob did not choose that one. Courtney tells me his was near epic but seems to be withholding details until we get together.. maybe this Sunday. You should come with us!
Here is the updated trail report....
I am going to try and get the photo album done. There is an old album back from when I use to post the photos small, but I am redoing it.
