I will never forget the beauty and the discovery of all the unique habitats within the canyon and it's inner gorge, but holy sh**balls, I ain't evah doing this again!  I hit the wall about 3 miles shy of climbing out of the canyon- with about another two thousand feet of vertical to go. My sore legs and blisters combined with hunger and the high altitude did not help matters. I literally wanted to curl up into a ball and die. But slowly, inch by inch I shuffled my way up the steepest trail. All I could think of to keep me going was a big plate of pasta.
Anyway, I feel like I did something that not too many others have pulled off. I now feel like I could do anything (that is, once my blisters heal and my Achilles tendons aren't protesting every step). JTIS! |
You surely did do something not too many others have pulled off, Congratulations!
Hmmm... Hejira in Arizona...so
recently was the Fleetwood Mac corporate show in Phoenix. Could the distinguished
Hej of The Ledge also have pulled off being the only Ledgie to have been at the concert? Just a co-incky to be in AZ?
You deserved to be there, for sure! If you were, how was the concert?
Lousy, huh?
No, I'm sure the band was great, as always! I hope you
did see Fleetwood Mac, I just think if anyone from The Ledge would have found out where the concert was when no-one else knew, and how to get in, it would be you.
