I agree ten thousand percent about Las Vegas. It's getting exponentially more repulsive by the day, and I can't imagine what a desecration it must have felt like to set foot there after the beauty and power of the Grand Canyon. {{{OVATION}}} for you, intrepid sister!

I rafted the Tuolome (SP?) in California once, it was almost as exhilerating as giving birth (ex the long term commitment) I remember closing my eyes and listening only to our expert, Dean Ferrendini, yell paddle instructions. I seemed to be paddling air. I was not wrong, we were on a rooster tail before plunging headfirst into the next rapid. You and Lee are such cool cats!
