MY HUSBAND AND I HAD OUR ANNIVERSARY AT THE GRAND CANYON WHEN IT BEGAN TO SNOW IN MID DECEMBER. WE REALIZED THAT THE NATIONAL PARKS DID NOT PLOW THERE ROADS. SO MY MOM AND BROTHER CAME ALONG AND WE GOT STUCK IN THE PARK FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I WAS WORKING FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND MY HUSBAND WAS STUDYING COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY. THE CANYON IS BEAUTIFUL WITH THE SNOW. WE WALKED AROUND THE RIM AS WELL AS WENT TO SEVERAL TO SEVERAL MUSEUMS AND MET SOMEONE I KNEW AT BLM. IT'S A SMALL WORLD. FINALLY WE SAW SOME DEER PEERING AT US. ONCE WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK TO PHOENIX WE STOPPED AT ARCOSANTI. IT WAS ACCESSABLE BY A DIRT ROAD THERE AND WE GOT STUCK IN THE CLAY MUD. BUT WE FINALLY MADE IT THROUGH . ARCOSANTI IS A COMMUNE BUILT IN THE 1960'S OR 70'S THAT WAS DESIGNED TO BE SELF SUFFIICENT.
MY HUSBAND AND I HAD SOME FRIENDS FROM ASU HIKED DOWN THE CANYON WITH BACKPACKS. WE WENT TO HAVASUPAI FALLS WHEN IT WAS STILL FAIRLY REMOTE AND UNPOPULATED. WE JUMPED INTO THE NATURAL LAKE THERE. IT WAS VERY COLD AND CAMPED AT THIS BEAUTIFUL SPOT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE FALLS ARE TOURQUOISE AND THE HAVASUPI NATIVES ARE VERY FRIENDLY. WE HAD A GOOD TIME THERE AND WONDERED ABOUT HOW MUCH FURTHER IT WOULD TAKE TO HIKE TO THE COLORADO RIVER.
