3. Gotta give you credit, you are more Alphafemale than I am....
oh wait, you really are.

At one point at the Grand Canyon, I almost peed my pants, and it was a place that was fenced! But it was really scary to me. To hear me, a proclaimed atheist, repeating "oh my god, oh my god" had everyone in stitches. You are my new idol.

4. I actually am pretty terrified at heights.
I just push myself.

The "trail" if you can call it that, down to Mooney Falls at Supai took more girding.

Here's a general pic I found. Don't have ours uploaded yet.

Does this pic mention it was wet and slippy from the mist of the falls?

6. lol
And once you are a few steps down and someone is coming behind you?

Yeah...

You're pretty much committed.

And then of course once you're down...there's that UP ting.
