First post of 2012 - Grand "Edventure" at Kayenta/Hell Hole Canyon



We decided to get out one last time on the school break and take grand kids along with us.  Too bad the Smiths were sick and couldn't join in.  We missed them.  Bean came along and it was a good thing.  We got to the point in the trail where we have always stopped and turned around, but with his help with pulling/pushing people up and finding good routes we went on quite a bit further and enjoyed some pretty sweet scenery including going through some cool rock fall caves.  Since the water was down this time of year, we didn't encounter some of the slick, mossy spots that have stopped us before either.  It was a great day with shirt sleeve weather and blue skies.  The kids, especially Gaige, did great.  We did what is becoming a tradition at the end - stopped by Arctic Circle for some "squirrel cones".  We are helping these kids get the good out of those new walking sticks that Grandpa gave them for Christmas, and in the process they are keeping us in shape!
