Zero Day Monday, May 2, 2022

We headed to the backcountry office for our camping permits at Cottonwood Camp on the valley floor for Tuesday and the North Rim Camp on the other side of the Canyon on Wednesday. It turns out we’re sharing the site with Silver Bullet, the women who passed us a couple of days ago.

We read an article on a poster in the office about a women who was the picture of health but was ill-prepared to cross the valley floor and died. The suggestion was that the night before we’re must hydrate and eat twice the calories we normally do. So we had the unenviable task of overeating today. We got right to it.
