Oh my heck!!
I just got a phone call with news that Maverick Scenic Air Tours is in negotiations with the Navajos to possibly set up flights to the Little Colorado. I already know where the helicopter landing pad is located and it's not going to be pretty.
Damage, damage, damage!!! Say it's NOT SO!!!
I've been having dreams/nightmares that a staircase is built with handrails and public restrooms are installed.................please pinch me and tell me it's all a bad dream. Maybe I can get one more trip in before all the tourism begins.
Has anyone else heard anything? |

Man that would piss me off, more so than rafting trips that get to take an easy lunch at Elves Chasm. I hope this isn't true or that the first chopper crashes and that they discontinue it. Is that wrong to say?

There was a major air disaster in the area of Temple Butte (?) about a mile SW of the confluence http://www.aircraftarchaeology.com/twa_united_airlines_grand_canyon.htm
I sure do not hope for wrecks but I do not like this plan one wee bit ...now I need to go down Salt trail before the hordes come flying in ....(My raft trip did not even stop at Elves Chasm! - since there was a raft jam in the area) _________________ Photos: http://www.pbase.com/desertgirl/galleries
