On a lighter note...
I was talking with a couple of guys during my workout yesterday, and one related that he was planning to hike Whitney this year, and I mentioned my Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim plans. That got him to recall a story:
A number of years ago, his brother-in-law made the trip through the Grand Canyon with rafts. As was required, their group carried their poop along on the trip, so they had a 5-gallon bucket with a plastic bag full-o-sh!t. At the end of the trip, they packed up all their gear in vehicles, and the 5-gallon surprise got transferred into a VCR carton. (This was back when VCR's were new and expensive.) They taped it all up so the contents would stay packed well inside.
Somewhere along the way home, some thief broke into their vehicle, left all the camping/river gear, but stole the VCR box! :D
