Many of you may remember my post about our trip to Supai last year. If not, chechk it out here:
http://www.ubersite.com/m/73919
It is one of the most beautiful, pristine places on earth. Well, some of you expressed interest in going. Loki, I remember you in particular expressed interest. The trip is on again this year, first of August. That's when they have the Peach Festival, which consists of many local and regional tribes bringing cattle, horses, squaws. They have a rodeo, a cattle drive from the trailhead to the village, the Miss Havasupai, Teen Havasupai, and Baby Havasupai contest, and then later at night, after the sun has gone down, Reggae music into the wee hours of the morning. Reservations must be made early, but I have a friend who has been down there 60-70 times, and he knows the ropes. If you wanna go, be prepared for primitave conditions. Drinking water filters through the canyon walls, but is safe to drink with no treatment. Everything you need, you carry in and carry out yourself. There are natives who will rent you pack animals, but it can get expensive.
In short, the more the merrier. If you're interested, email me at tenacken.at.yahoo.com. I know it's early, but we need to start getting an idea of the volume of folks who might show up. We'll handle all reservations, determine how much each bod will owe, etc. Handle all of the logistics.
It'll be a once in a lifetime, life changing even, I promise you.
Think about it.

That's a promise I can't make. You're in and out ot the water so often, it don't make sense.
Primitave camping by a beautiful creek in the depths of the Grand Canyon, like I said.

I'm a terrible speller. That's "cafe" and "11.5 miles."
