The thought of primitive camping makes me squirm because let’s face it; the last time I slept in a tent was in high school. It could be the idea of bathing in the cold Colorado River that makes me shiver. No cell phone service and no internet connection. A total disconnect from civilization for three days. I imagine twenty complete strangers; who are city slickers, trying to camp, hike, and white water raft. We would make a perfect reality show series.
Maybe I am nervous because it is required to purchase evacuation insurance. A helicopter ride in sounds exhilarating but an emergency helicopter ride out sounds life threatening. Did I mention the bathroom situation? Everything that is brought into the canyon must leave the canyon. I am not exactly sure the logistics on this but I will go with the flow.
The sunrises and sunsets are supposed to be spectacular. After admiring the view, sleeping under the starts, and listening to nature, all these worries maybe for not. Do not worry, pictures will follow as soon as my internet connection does.
