Saddle Canyon to Mile 62.5
July 11, 2001

We all ended up with nicknames by the end of the trip. I became Fraulein Edie after the hike (sometimes referred to as the death march) to the Nankoweap Granaries, Mile 52. It just happened to be high noon and I wanted pictures of just our group there, and there were other hikers close on our heels. Cindy almost got heat exhaustion, but we got some great pictures!
