Two men walked on opposite sides of a river. One shouts to the other, “How do I get on the other side of the river?!” The second man shouts back, “You ARE on the other side of the river!!” 4/20/2021 Tomorrow, I head to the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas for a Rafting Trip that has been in the planning for 3 years, including 2 postponements due to COVID. I'll be going from Lee's Ferry to Whitmore Wash for a total on 181 miles and more than 1000 rapids over 7 days. John Wesley Powell did the same trip in 1869 (Read: Down the Great Unknown) in 3 row boats. I expect that my raft will be better equipped.  I'll share pictures on my return. In the meantime here's a video to let you know what I'll be experiencing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B302rrXpB9A I expect that my itinerary will get me to a point nearest the South Rim on Saturday, April 25th at about 7:40PM EST/5:40PM MST, wave and I’ll wave back:  https://www.earthcam.com/usa/arizona/grandcanyon/?cam=grandcanyon “Y
