CW, thanks. I'm getting a kick out of writing it. I spent 30 minutes at the campfire each night recapping my day. I want to go down there a lot more but maybe stay off the main highway a little more. I definitely will keep you posted on my plans. I'm doing the north rim of the Grand Canyon starting May 15th, but the backcountry permits are more likely granted to 6 or fewer people, and I have 4 friends in 2 rigs coming. If one of the guys drops out, do you have any interest? We're going to use Jacob's Lake as a base/backup camp from the 16th to the 21st of May, but hope to camp at Tuweep, Sublime, Fire Point and some others, and on the 21st, drive over to White Pockets on the 21st and 22nd, and head to Page, AZ on the 22nd or 23rd. The other couple is a laid back former chemist now retired. If you can't do May, we should plan something cool (I mean in a cool climate) in June.
