Both Love Man and Maui Jon have recovered from their hike. Both said the one mile walk, once out of the canyon, to the campground helped. Maui Jon has a nasty blister on his heel. Love Man will mostly likely lose both of his big toenails. Loss of toenails is not uncommon after this grueling, treacherous ordeal.
I don't know. I don't see the point in rim-to-rim. I can see hiking down to Phantom Ranch, with mules carrying your stuff - camping and staying for maybe a couple of days - then hiking out.
Savor it! It is the Grand Canyon for goodness sake. Their is a whole world at the bottom of the canyon.
Of course, I have never been. One day. Maybe. No promises.
