Pennsylvania Grand Canyon Trip

Last weekend Griff and Morgan backpacked the West Rim Trail of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. It is up by Wellsboro, PA, an absolutely beautiful area. It just so happened that they chose a weekend which included rain, high winds and snow, but they had a wonderful time. Betsy and I survived at home with our kids with the help of friends and family while the men were away. I am glad they got the chance to go, but I was really glad to have Griff walk through the door Sunday evening.

The hikers after their first night in the wilderness. They think a bear went through their camp early in the morning because there were holes ripped in the garbage bags that were around their backpacks. Thankfully the bear couldn't get what he wanted and left without incident.

The beauty of northern Pennsylvania.

At the end of three days of hiking they were a little sore. But they made it home safe and sound and with some great stories.
