Hutchinson Combat Supplies Battalion WALK SOFTLY, WALK SAFELY (Continued from page 249.) The return journey to the South Rim was over two days, and allowed time for further exploration of the Phantom Ranch area, where visitors sensible enough to go by mule enjoy air- conditioned luxury. We were clearly getting used to the conditions by this time and the climb out u p the Bright Angel trail was much faster than our first attempt two weeks previous. For the most part our walks u p to this stage had been along trails down to the river and back, so for our last, and longest walk we decided to travel as far as was allowed parallel to the river. This last walk was to be for a week, descending by the Hermit trail and walking part of the Tonto trail, returning once more up the Bright Angel. The weather promised, and turned out, to be the hottest since we had arrived, and more than one of the Rangers thought we must be 'real crazy.' The recent 276 2 Armoured Division Ordnance Company G.

On reaching Boucher Creek on the second day we were lucky in this respect to find the abandoned asbestos mine, for there was precious little shade to be had elsewhere. Despite the hostility of the country there was still much evidence of wildlife: a mountain deer was as surprised to see us as we were to see him. Here, as at Monument Creek, our next camp, the river rapids provided a spectacle of sheer force that was both exciting and alarming. The penultimate stage of the walk was the thirteen mile stretch of the Tonto trail from Monument to Indian Gardens, but for the first time that week the weather was kind to us and the trip was uneventful. The next day we completed our final ascent in (for us) record time. Then began the long return journey to Washington. The three members of the exercise would like to thank all those who made this memorable visit possible, and would recommend such a venture to anyone who does not mind work- ing for a good suntan. |
