19986 from this, "
I hiked the Grand Canyon three times.
In 19986 and 1988 I hiked from the North Rim to the
South Rim - two days each time..."

Now, what is the proper way to phrase this? Would it be back to the future? OR ahead to the future? It's an obvious typo, but I couldn't resist! You must be training, not only for another Grand Canyon trek, but I guess you plan on living until the year 19986 ? Oh, ok, you only have 17,968 years to finish up that training!

guy was talking about how hiking across the Canyon
was almost a 'religious experience'

Oh, yes, it would be for me, too. I would probably be praying the whole time!

=======================

over 60

Seriously, hon, we are all in the heart attack stage. At what age would you stop?
=================

Seriously, when you're walking, are you only watching out for snakes, or are you thinking? I would be thinking, about what, dunno. I mean, do you talk to a lot of people on the those trails, or are you just absorbed in your thoughts?

NACL told me to ask you this question. Smile))
HI, NACL!!


If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

I hiked the Grand Canyon three times.
In 19986 and 1988 I hiked from the North Rim to the
South Rim - two days each time.

In 2012 I didn't get enough reservations, and hiked
from the South Rim to Phantom Ranch, then back out
to the South Rim. (Again, two days.)

While having breakfast in the mess hall in 2012, the
guy was talking about how hiking across the Canyon
was almost a 'religious experience'. I believe he
was right.

He also talked about the 'iron men' who cross the
Canyon in one day. Some running all the way across.
And how they miss the Canyon itself. Perhaps I misremember . .
But for me hiking across . . drinking in the splendor
of the scenery . . natures awesomeness . .
I just can't see how racing across it can meet any of
those spiritual needs.

I thoroughly enjoyed all three trips. Being over 60 now,
if time and circumstance permit I would not mind
going again.

Zim.
