Love the site and e-mail updates. My partner, Michael, and I made this hike several years ago, and it is, as it is for you, one of the greatest memories of our travelling life. We were so fortunate to have the late Richard Marks as our guide on that day; we have photos of Mr. Marks sitting under a tree, telling us stories of Father (now Saint) Damien - all the while feeding his beloved feral cats little treats. I was so saddened to learn of his passing last December. We'll cherish our memories of that trip forever. Incidentally, I, too, hiked the Grand Canyon - twice! We lived in Tucson for more than 20 years before moving to San Diego three years ago. Several years ago, I did a South Rim-to-River-to-South Rim hike with several co-workers, and then returned the following fall to do a North Rim-to-Sout Rim crossing, in one day. I still consider it one of my greatest accomplishments! Our best to both of you! John and Michael Hi, Jeff and Rob. Love the site and e-mail updates.
