RIM TO RIM (backdated - 10th to 13th Jul'07) - the HIKE

I went on a Rim to Rim (hiked North Rim to South Rim, 23.9Miles) on the 10th to 13th July. All is well and I am safe. This experience, is one I will remember for life, and a proud thing I have done in my entire life [besides graduating from University with 2nd Class Honors (Lower)]
