Quotes by customers on a guided Grand Canyon trip:
"Does the river follow the canyon the whole way down?"
"Since we left camp this morning, have we gained elevation or lost elevation?"
"Do we end up in the same place we started?"
"Are we below sea level here?"
"Can these life jackets get wet?"
"Is Lake Powell a direct result of Glen Canyon Dam being placed on the river?"
"How thick are the canyon walls?"
"If I would have known there were this many rocks in the Grand Canyon, I would have never come on this trip."

"That, would be water, Chuck". . .Bill Jendricks. Bill just poured Carole, Conni & me a very fine Newton unfiltered Chardonnay and toasted his friends. Being a bit toasted already, I picked up the wrong glass, took a sip, and looked around because I was thinking to myself "This fine wine sure tastes pretty flat." Thank you Bill, for setting me straight on this one! Probably the best and the most expensive Chardonnay I've ever had in my life. . . when I finally got the right glass. . . . . . . . . . . Chuck |

I was inside the tent and heard a bird of prey screeching. . . so I said, "who's screaming at us?" and popped my head out of the tent.
