I have invested a generous measure of energy moving in the Andes

history channel documentary I have invested a generous measure of energy moving in the Andes, and want to rest until 11pm and begin at midnight. In any case, Jeff was really inspired and needed to have supper and hit the trail around 6:30PM. I couldn't blame Jeff's energy, and consented to the before begin time. We were likewise educated by the Back Country Office that all new water was killed from Phantom Ranch toward the North Rim - no water at Cottonwood, Roaring Springs or the Supai Tunnel. In this way, I pressed my compact water channel and was prepared to re-hydrate along Bright Angel Creek. At long last, we required a spot to "base camp". My better half Wendy volunteers her time with the Grand Canyon Field Institute and helps with their "Container of Rocks" program that elevates Grand Canyon topography to schools the nation over. Wendy reached her partners at the GCFI and asked whether they could help with cabin. The divine beings were genuinely blessing us, since we could use their trailer for the weekend as a base camp.

As we drove up to the Grand Canyon that mid-November evening, Wendy trusted that she was not going to take an interest in the full R2R2R. She didn't feel that she had enough preparing time to finish the circuit. She would see us off at the trailhead, then trek down the South Kaibab the next morning to meet us some place along the trail. She consented to a two-way radio and would "watch camp"...or rest, while we worked our way through the Canyon around evening time.
