I've been calling about once a week hoping some poor soul would have to cancel his PR reservation and this morning I hit the jackpot :!:

Hotdiggitydamn.....May 21 in the male dorm, Phantom Ranch stew that evening, first seating (UGH 5:30a.m.) breakfast and a sack lunch on the 22nd :!:

Am I one happy camper :?:

Congrats Hoolie! I'm sure you'll have a blast!

You suck. Nothing personal. Damn I would love to do that trip with you.

Think how the poor soul that had to give up his reservation must feel; almost makes me feel sad.......yeah, right! :lol:

I called for a reservation in Dec. 2001 and got lucky for an opening, May 20. Due to circumstances in my life. I will not be able to do this trip.
Rather than just cancel. I would gladly sell it, no profit, to anyone
in HAZ. If interested, contact me......Kevin

Thanks to Kevin I now have Phantom Ranch Reservations for May 20th as well as the 21st!
I AM ONE HAPPY DUDE!!!!!

Thanks, Kevin :!:

I am big time happy for you. We often call mid winter especially right after a snow storm and get same day accomodations-nice place to be when you don't want to camp out.

Thanks, MP! What would you suggest for a good day hike on Tuesday on the Canyon floor; maybe 5 or 6 miles, moderately strenuous? Or just maybe roam?

The fellow I got my permit from was named Kevin also.
You're going to love it Hooli, and I'm jealous!

Hoolie, for your Tuesday hike, I'd suggest you head up the North Kaibab through the box for a few miles. You could go as far as Ribbon Falls if you have time. It's 6 miles from the Ranch, but an easy six.

Have a great time!

Ribbon falls is nice. If it is hot you might like to go up the bottom of Phantom Creek a ways. Might get your feet wet. :wink:

Of course, that'll mean two whole days without all you folks here at HAZ and I'm sure I'll spend most of my time in the Canyon wishing I was here with you instead.....

Yeah, Right! :lol:

evenstarx3 · by **evenstarx3** » May 18 2002 7:57 pm

Off early tomorrow a.m. for the GC and two days at Phantom Ranch; back home Thursday. Y'all behave while I'm gone! Of course Teva Joe, aka Bandit Joe ("Bandit" Joe....yeah, right! :roll:

) : will, by then, have an insurmountable lead in number of posts, but that's OK...gotta give the young kids a break now and then! :lol:

Hang on to that hat--it's supposed to be windy

evenstarx3 · by **evenstarx3** » May 18 2002 9:07 pm

Bandit

Joe stapled my hat to my head....no problem with the wind! :lol:

I'm Back!!! And what a great, great adventure! Left So. Kaibab TH at 7:00 sharp Monday a.m. and arrived at Phantom Ranch at 10:50 a.m. Loafed around the area the rest of the day and took photos. Tuesday a.m. worked off breakfast by hiking out No. Kaibab trail to Ribbon Falls. Left PR at 5:50 a.m. Wednesday and hit the rim at 11:20. Photos at:
