Plans have changed for that weekend. I have been doing some outdoor work with Inner City tucson kids and we are taking a few camping to Parker Canyon lake that weekend. |

I would love to do an extended road trip with a big comfy tent. I have my little backpacking tent.
Looking forward to Spring Break next week to actually spend two days in it in Arivipia canyon. |

Congrats Liz.
It sounds like things are looking up for you!
Enjoy the water, you will be a great river guide.
