Yes, it is possible to hike 6 miles down into the Grand Canyon then climb 9 miles out again. No blisters! I saw the condors -- a humbling experience. Had hoped to get into the Nevada desert but it was raining cats and dogs.

I am in the rough draft stage of book two, titled Mandie Faradin. I'm off to the Grand Canyon to research a spectacular setting for the main event in Hope's Herald, which is book three.

Thanks for your welcome. I retired from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality in 2005. I was a Water Quality Specialist. My M.S. is in Geochemistry and Hydrogeology.
Is there a way to submit a first chapter for people to look at and comment on?
