Which one bruce?
I like hiking. Whitewater rafting? nah, but I've floated down the Boise river when I was 13, fell off the tube, the people that we were with tied the tubes together. The ropes wrapped around my leg and a wood pier. I was trapped underwater for a bit but It wasn't deep so the people were able to unwrap me before I drowned fortunately. For awhile,I did have battle scars on my leg I was proud of. I do like boats though! big sturdy ones |

Yes, it's only 9 miles down Bright Angel Trail... all downhill too.
Sorry if my Olde New England slang wasn't clear.

Bruce!!!! You said shanks mare! My dear momma used to say that, and nobody I've ever mentioned it to had any clue what I meant. Thank you for validating that I am not losing my mind. This time.
