Day before Day 1…
As we prepare to jump off on a four day trip down into the Grand Canyon. No cell phones, no computers so this will be the last post until we return to “The Top.” Weather couldn’t be better: low 70’s and sunny in Flagstaff which will translate into low 80’s during day and low 50’s at night down in the Canyon.
Today was all about my fellow hikers (Jodi and Mike) arriving and making last minute preparations:
– re-packing packs for the zillionth time,
-adjusting them to maximum comfort,
-walking around the campground with full pack settling things in,
-a bit of last minute shopping (almost forgot the Ramen noodles, an indispensable commodity),
– a big dinner tonight (thanks to Ruth, the Official Base Camp Director)
– and of course the never-ending plotting, planning and strategizing.
