Re: The Story Of A Cummins Suburban (Lots Of Pics)

Spectacular views as always. Rapid loss of altitude, excellent phrasing. I'm just guessing, but are you a veteran? Sometimes your choice of words reminds me of those days.

Speaking of forgetting things, it's not always what you forgot to bring, but in my case, forgot to remove. I was in Seattle last week for work. Spent an evening with an old navy buddy doing stand up paddling, which is something he loves. I haven't been out on the water in a while participating in anything fun, and forgot to take my glasses off. First of 3 falls into the water and my fairly new $500 glasses were about 30' under lake unions surface. My spares were in MN.

Nope, not a veteran.

That sounds like a ton of fun. You are right the north rim is way more scenic. We where at the south 2 years ago on our way home from Phoenix, spent about an hour and left. Is it paved or dirt roads to where you went?
