It was a glorious, marvelous trip: freezing water, blistering dry heat, scorpions, snakes, wildlife howling off the flaming walls of the Grand Canyon -- all the glorious side of the world beyond our control.
Det var en fantastiskt underbar resa: iskallt vatten, intensiv hetta,  skorpioner, ormar, vilddjur vars ylande ekade mot  Grand Canyons eldröda väggar - allt det vackra i världen bortom vår kontroll.
