A Message From the Grand Canyon!

Yesterday we took a day trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  As most of you know, this is one of our most loved destinations. 

Our 1st mission of the day was to wish all of our friends and family a Happy Thanksgiving.  All kidding aside, Carol and I are so grateful for our good health, that we love/have one another and the opportunities that have come our way.  

Our 2nd mission of this day trip was to go to the Grand Canyon Backcountry Office to submit our application to backpack/hike into the canyon in April.  This would be 5 days, 4 nights 10,000’ down into the canyon…more on this if we are awarded the permits!  

Side Note:  We tried to use a “Teleprompter” to assist with our “on screen” message.  Here were the issues; we were stiff with no emotion, we took about 10 takes trying to get it right and we were freezing…it was 38 degrees!  So friends, we turned the teleprompter off and here are the results! 🤣  

Enjoy the video!

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

    Wonderful I think the Grand Canyon was redecorated since I was there many years ago. It’s more beautiful. It wasn’t my favorite..preferred Bryce.
    Anyway you two look great, happy and fulfilling your dreams as well you should.
    What are you doing for the holiday dinner? Whatever…ENJOY and thanks for the good wishes.
