Standing on the rim the day before, I was a bit queasy looking down and was some what anxious about that. At my age I get nervous at the 2nd step of a step ladder. After the first 50 yards on the trail looking at the trail over the mule's ears, I was good. In a mile,I was looking over the edge and marveling at the engineering feat of carving that trail without modern day machinery.

It is not a trail for the faint of heart.

Dammit. That does it. I gots ta do it!
