"Back in the Day" — 11 months ago
My wife and I went with two Japanese exchange students, Mickey & Naomi, back in the early 1990s (I really don’t remember the year). Anyway it was a cheap sleep in the car kind of trip.
We got there and looked down the canyon, which was really cool. Mickey and Naomi wanted to hike to the bottom, and were really disappointed to find out you need a permit. Since they were wearing sneakers and their water bottles were filled with orange Shasta, permits are probably a good idea (not a lot of desert in Japan, I’m thinking).
The highlight of the trip wasn’t the Grand Canyon, but a quick visit to Colorado City, a freaky polygamist town.
Sorry, gentle readers, but that story is for another time.
