Figured I should update this thing once in a while... so here it goes:
work: bleh
bike: *crickets*
vacation: ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'M SO EXCITED!!!
WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE GRAND CANYON!!!!
End of March, we're heading to Phoenix, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon... where we are planning to a
hike down to the bottom!!! Hopefully, the weather holds out. Cold and a little snow will be ok. We're going to bring crampons for the top portion of the hike as we do expect some poorer conditions there based on recent trail reviews. And we're doing some longer hikes now to test out gear and clothing combinations and figure out food and water for the hike. I'm also planning on doing a comprehensive blog post on the hike when we get back (or at least to location with internet).
So, guys, keep your fingers crossed that weather is good for the trip!
