The Last Hurrah of the Summer

So, I go back to work tomorrow after a fun-filled summer. We hiked the Grand Canyon last week w/ our neighbors who live below us (Erik was Currie's roommate at Covenant). It was grueling and sweaty, but we saw some amazing views! We did 7 miles the 1st day and camped at Cottonwood; hiked 3 miles to Ribbon Falls the 2nd day; and then hiked the 7 miles straight uphill the 3rd day. We descended/ascended 4500 feet!!

I think this is called "dragging," not "hiking." :)

Currie... you don't look that tired lol.

The girl thing... um yeah it was a distance thing, she lives in TX. She was in ATI, so I knew her through that and had gone out to see her this summer.

Anyway, awesome pictures. Andrew
