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?

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.

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...
