Great story, Mark - Glad you found your way back "here" :)
Thanks Ann - imagine, if the cold hadn't killed me, list withdrawal surely would of done me in!
Once we actually got close to the hoodoos and such, it was easy, but the wooded area could be confusing. So I stuck brightly colored signal dots that I carried to mark and number film rolls along the way - dayglow colors. I've never gone hiking without them since.
I was tempted to started shredding Reala boxes along the path - just to make sure I wasn't doubling back on myself!
I don't think we saw another soul on that trail back then - everone else was descending from the rim and making a more taxing circle back up to the rim.
I did not see a soul out there - but at one point I heard this distinctive sound that sounded vaguely familiar... Only hours later did I realize it was the Peter Pan Rooster call. That was kinda weird.
