Summit Feaver
The plan: camp at the trailhead, then run up Huron, Missouri, Belford, Oxford, Harvard, Columbia, and Yale, weather and appetite for pain permitting. If Corey remembers his Spot Locator, whereiscurtis.com might even track it.

Canyons, Cars, Camps, Cooking and ... Squirells
The rental site promised a Caliber and gave us a PT Cruiser. But the real story is this year's Grand Canyon Death March: a rim-to-rim-to-rim in 19:57, nearly four hours faster than last year. The taped toes held. I might be done with these.

St. George, Utah, and its underwhelming sign on the hill. Did they lose interest mid-construction, run out of white rocks, or is it the grade the Health Department gave the local restaurants?
