which way

Post by RickVincent »

If you're a Grand Canyon veteran doing the Bright Angel/Tonto/S. Kaibab shuttle, which way would you rather go? Down the steep Kaibab and up Bright Angel or save the steeper Kaibab stretch for the climb up?
This is my gym. I have to travel down a bumpy road to get there. There are no treadmillls, no machines, and no personal trainers. I walk..I run..I breathe the fresh air. I can go any time I want, as much as I want and there is no membership fee.

As most hikers know, the uphill hiker generally (most always) has the right-of-way. Tourists (FRENCH tourists in particular) have a habit of walking 3-or-4 wide down the B.A. (or any other trail they seem to be on) planning that all other earthly creatures will part in their presence. [/quote]
Thats odd! The French twice now have let the Germans march on their Paris boulevards twenty wide and hundreds deep. :sl:

Being of French descent, I can (probably) get away with this...

The French have to walk abreast so they can see each others' hand gestures; it's mandatory when they speak! Haven't your watched enough old movies to know this!? :whistle:

I'm surprised they don't move, however, as surrender should be a natural reaction... :o
