So, we all know about these super secrets as you publicize them  frequently on 
this list But, when we will see your trip report from the  Grand Canyon.  We 
are all waiting on pins and needles to see how you took  advantage of all your 
super secrets to conquer the big gash in the desert.   You did conquer the 
canyon, right?  Tell, me this wasn't another aborted  expedition by the big pirate 
in desert.

Switchback replies: All my gear worked great.  A few refinements  were needed 
because of age, but nothing super big.  Unfortunately, the body  did not do 
too good this year.  Last year I went down to Phantom Ranch and  back up to the 
South Rim.  This year it was too early for the knees, but  mostly the leg 
muscles.  I wore knee straps, took my shots 3-times a day  and my 10 pills per 
day too.  I could not continue beyond Indian Springs  campground.  I am thinking 
of doing a rim-to-rim next year after  I get some physical stuff corrected.  
May be in one day if I feel  like it --- I think it is only 43 miles.  Do you 
want to go???
 
I am now in training for some hiking on the PCT in April around the  Kickoff. 
 I might do the Warner Springs Loop PCT hike or the Barrel  Springs to Warner 
Springs.  Every year there are reports of saber  tooth mountain lions in the 
area, but I like the  danger.
