Day 7 - Man eating wasps to free hotel rooms; the adventure never stops!

Day 7 of the patella dairies...strong and sturdy my patella reigns supreme...whoops, wrong dairy

Day 5: Antelope Canyon was amazing, but crowded. Check out our photo gallery for great new photos. After our tour we drove down to the Grand Canyon and played tourist as kyla is not allowed below the canyon rim. Just before sunset we found a nice free campsite in the National Forest outside the National Park.

Day 6: We awoke to twin otters flying overhead and elk pooping near by. A twin otter is not two otters flying, but rather an airplane with double turbine prop engines used for Grand Canyone sight seeing tours. While Renata and Kyla were up and ready to go at the ass crack of dawn, Ted selpt till noon. Well, not actually noon, but more like eight when Renata and Kdog forced him out of the truck with their Elk poop persuasion. Best leave the rest to imagination... We arrived in the quaint historic town of Flagstaff Arizona around 10:30am. After picking up some more camping fuel, two delicious hot dogs from a street vendor, and a cheap (very cheap) climbing book, we embarked on our afternoon woodland adventure... A full description of this afternoon's endover can be found in your local bookstores and is entitled "How to Get Lost in the Arizona Wilderness with out a Map, Compass or Food, and Still Manage to Find a Great Rock Climbing Site Before Dark, Part I." By Kyla Roxbury. Needless to say, we arrived by to camp with only minor wounds, nothing a big camp fire and some beer couldn't fix.

Day 7: Part II. Another beautiful morning in a secluded and free campsite. After a simple breakfast we set out again to conquer the great wall of doom! Dispite our high spirit's, strong wills and sturdy patella's, the gale force winds and man eating wasps destroyed our hopes for the summit and we were forced to retreat, well, actually run for our lives. Due to the graphic nature of todays events no photos will be available for this section. After our second epic adventure we drove south to Sedona, AZ. While avoiding the man eating wasps and we fell into the seductive clutches of the rare and elusive Wyndham Vacation Resort Salesman. We emerged from this battle triumphantly, avoiding the million dollar timeshare purchase and scoring a free hotel room. Thus, electricity and wireless internet access. SHOWER!!! Thats it for now, talk to ya'll soon.

What a great adventure! I especially liked the action packed narrative which I read aloud with all the necessary triumphant inflections! I loved the photos of the grand canyon, I've never seen anything like it! Very artistic and surreal.
I hope San Diego brings you some warmth and rest. Please stay out of the water, I don't want either of you to be a snack for a Great White Shark!
