Interesting.

I’ve done some hiking in the Grand Canyon. What strikes me is that it is so much harder than mountain climbing because the steepest, hardest part comes right at the end.

That is a grueling hike. I did it 20 something years ago in my early 40s.

I can't believe I'm now 30 years away from 92. I remember 30 years ago like it happened last year.

This month alone for example is 30 years ago the Clinton criminal cabal took power, Jan. 20th 1993.

I was watching it on TV, the inauguration and remember Hillary wearing that table cloth suit and the bizarre man hat and I was saying to myself "There's something off about that woman" Little did I realize she was Satans daughter and would still be causing us tremendous problems 30 years down the road.

Don’t let the old man in

He lived 92 years, and this is all he can do with his time? I wouldn’t want to cross the Grand Canyon on foot at any age.

Thanks, SJ! That’s my feel-good, inspirational story of the day. What an awesome accomplishment at 92. And it is SO cool that two other hikers agreed to walk with him at his slow speed to be his witnesses for the record books. Great people.

It’s heartwarming that he met so many people on the trail and all were so supportive of his trek.

It’s also very neat he decided to revisit the places that he and his wife had gone to before she passed away.

Overall, a fun, inspiring, and touching story.

Yikes!

As a 90-year old whose primary walking exercise is following the wife from machine to machine at the National Harbor MGM, guess I need to ramp up the frequency of the routine from 3 or 4 times a month...

No problem! Rush’s advice on canned dog food will come into play...

Now if only he could drive a car without running over cyclists

Wow, chops to him.

Hubs and I hiked a short distance on the Bright Angel trail when we visited a few years ago. He has muscular dystrophy but hiking poles really helped him. It challenged both of us so we’re impressed by the 92-year-old hiker.

We want to do these sorts of things while Hubs still can.

I’m training every day to be the oldest person who DIDN’T cross the Grand Canyon.
