I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

15 Amateur Traveler episode 766. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about

Rapids and Waterfalls, Canyons and Dorees, hikes, and ancient Puebloans as we go rafting in the Grand Canyon.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Let's talk about the

Grand Canyon.

I'd like to welcome to the show Randy Rohr from Baltimore, Washington and Robin Perry from Rock Hill, South Carolina, who are also patrons of the show, but that's not why we have them on we have them on to talk

about the Grand Canyon and rafting the Grand Canyon. I'm going to do this in the

episode now Robin and Randy welcome to the show. Thank you.

Excited to be here.

Thanks, Chris.

It's great to be here.

Long time fan of the show.

Well, and this episode actually came out of a talk about on the show that we do a monthly

Zoom call with patrons to the show those who can show up and last time we were

talking about travels and what people have been doing recently and Robin you just got back from a Grand Canyon

trip not that long ago.

In just in June we rafted down the Grand Canyon and it was a very unexpected trip because of people not being able to travel due to COVID.

There were cancellations and I think it was just in March that we were able to schedule our trip and we were able to go in June.

So kind of a quick turnaround for this kind of a trip and it was just fantastic.

Well, when we pulled in Randy, not because Randy went with Robin, or that they've spent a lot of time with each other.

But Randy, you have been done this trip or a trip like it ten times, as I recall.
