If this were "Survivor" I would have been voted off the hike yesterday. I took at least 85 pictures, and would have taken twice that many if Mr. Joe and Tom hadn’t been constantly urging me to “keep moving.” They even tried to trade me to another group of hikers that liked to take pictures! But since today was a rest day there was no timetable and no destination and they told me that I could take all the pictures I wanted.
After breakfast at Phantom Ranch—scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes and great coffee- we hiked north about a mile and a half or so along the Bright Angel Creek and we got back to the Phantom Ranch around midday had a nice cold lemonade then took it easy during the afternoon (the thermometer says it's 110 in the sun).
We’ll be hiking down to the river this evening, then hit the sack so we can get an early start tomorrow. We hope to be on the trail by 6 am to beat the heat.
