**High Adventure Trip:**  Plans are in the works for a trip to the Grand Canyon in March 2018 with plan B to go in the fall if we have any issues getting a permit.  Plans are to fly into Phoenix on Day 1 and to fly home on Day 5.  In between we will be offering a Rim to Rim hike for those who want to hike down into the Canyon and a day hiking traverse trip for those who would like to day hike the North and South Rim.  For a March trip, we can begin to apply for permits after Oct 20.  Interested persons should contact us of their interest by Oct 1.  We will need actual numbers of interest in order to begin applying for the campground and hiking permits.  If you are interested in this trip, please contact Mandy Brink; trekeragb@sbcglobal.net or Jim Moore: jmoore@acentech.com for any further questions.
