that is Stepmurr, the resident camera buff who posted those great pics earlier in this thread.

So your saying Steve isn't your son, didn't quite answer that question? If he is how old are you.


Had a amazing time. After Funner's quote about not going because of not getting maintenance down I almost backed out since fews things I wanted to do didn't get done. Figure I had three choices. 1. Do the maintenance and risk not having some thing I needed. 2. Just back out. 3. Just go and trust my 89 wouldn't let me down. Obviously made the right choice.

Weather was great, not sure about north of canyon but yesterday and today south of the rim it's been raining.

Quick look at Weather Channel radar currently looks to be raining up to Cameron. By 11pm heading north and raining on 67 north of the park. Yesterday wasn't bad but today been wet rainy since noon in the rim country. Rain would have mdke for interesting wheeling but not necessary fun.

I would have been a bit worried about camping and the temps at White Pocket, how was it?

The weather didnt keep anyone up. Some did have a problem getting to sleep but it had nothing to do with the weather

No one has mentioned if everyone made it how okay. The mystery in the fuel filter ever solved?

Alvis and I pulled the tank on the 60 Saturday, drained the fuel, pulled outa leaf and a bunch of dirt. When we pulled the fuel pick up it was not in the tub within the tank and when Alvis blew the lines out a chunk of wood popped out. We suspect that the wood was the main culprit and restricting fuel flow.

Picking up a few parts okay do should have the tank back on by tonight

I didn't notice that I listed the video as private. Should be able to view it now.

Wow great trip! I wish I would have seen this earlier I may have tried to make it. I have been to WP and GC north rim a couple times now, but would love to get the LCP guided tour and see some of the off the beaten path areas.

I think we are going to have a run at this trip this weekend, any thing we should watch out for? Does anyone have the GPS locations for the camp spots you guys stayed at?
