I made my reservation today!!!   Everything is flexible right now, but I'm reserved on a woman's only hike for 4 or 5 days beginning on Oct 13, 2009!!!  I've made my reservation with "Just Roughin It"  They provide all equipment and food.  I just have to provide my clothes and carry it down and then back up out of the Grand Canyon!! 

The trip will be 2 days down (7 miles each day) and 2 days back up (about 5 miles each day).  I think that is totally managable, but I've begun my exercise program.  Raphael gave me strength training and cardio exercises.

I never plan anything this far in advance!!!
