("Effengee" Campsite, new found nation based on two concepts...Freedom and Funny Accents)This tour was almost a completely new crew. Hard workers and great attitudes, every one of them, made it very successful and low stress for me. This was the premium tour as we hit up all the classic after work activities, including our first trip down Hermit Trail and another successful condor sighting at Bright Angel Lodge. The museum collection was a hit again as Coleen gave us a wonderful tour filled with information especially about the projectile points, pottery and hand tools of the native american inhabitants. The work was dirting, leveling and compacting for the first 4 days, and then a combination of clearing rocks off the Greenway Trail and some odd jobs, including laying new asphalt at Maricopa point and loading mules with dirt on the South Kaibab near "Ooh Ahh" point. This hitch we created the sovereign nation of "Effengee" at our campsite, complete with national sport (broadcasting the dishwater), national creed ("Freedom to speak in any accent") and national bread (Marble Rye...or "Freedom Bread" colloquially).
