Sorry to those following the blog.
Internet access is very sparce at the National Parks. Will have to catch up with pictures when I have some good bandwidth.
I have been keeping up on the laptop - but have not been able to post since leaving Las Vegas and did not have time to keep up all days while there.
Finished our mule trip to bottom of Grand Canyon yesterday. Did a hike on South Rim today and hit the road again. In Seligman, AZ on Route 66 tonight before getting up at 5AM for our Class 5 - 6 whitewater rafting trip. Ending the day on Sunday with a helicopter ride out and a walk on the Skywalk over the Grand Canyon.
A BIG thanks to Lori, Fritz, Sandy and Tim back home for cleaning up the water in our basement from the storms last night. We got record rain last night. They were able to get all the carpet out before any furniture or woodwork was damaged. Entire basement carpet was wet with water standing in many places. I recieved kudos from the neighbors via email for having the best family ever. I agree!!
They have been there for each storm - tending to no power and watching for water after the rains. Great summer to be out of Wilmette...
I would say I wish I could return the favor sometime, but would not wish water in a basement on anyone.
Thanks again - LOVE YOU and look forward to seeing you at the beach in a little over a week...
