“There are no safe paths in this part of the world. Remember you are over the Edge of the Wild now, and in for all sorts of fun wherever you go.” J.R.R. Tolkien
Mission is nearing the end of his 800 mile trek through the Wilds of Arizona, completing Rim to Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Granny Hat is learning that there are several types of “Wilds” on any trail. Each adventurer has his or her own opinion about what is truly “wild”. Granny sits in the the comparative safety of her garden Adirondack chair, reading Mission’s Strava comments, looking at the photos and frequently exclaiming, “now, THAT’s WILD!” She will share some of the best pictures.
