'Me and my new mates atop the mountain known as 'Angel of Death'. Second from left is Bevan (aka 'Tag-along Birdman'). He is special-forces-trained, and shown here with his military flag.' (Dan 15-Apr-07, taken on Angels Landing, Zion NP)

I will probably be castigated at home for taking the risk of letting James go on the Angels Landing hike ('long drop-offs ... not for anyone fearful of heights' said the park newspaper), but it was great to hear him say he really wanted to do the hike. He survived.
I went off to do the relatively geriatric route—from River Walk at the top of the canyon to Weeping Rock, Lower Emerald Pool and the Human History Museum. (But have my knees consigned me to the senior citizen routes from now on?)
Later I had a shower and played Natalie and Jiny at Travel Scrabble (newly purchased from Wal*Mart) and lost, largely due to a disagreement over the existence of E-Q-U-I-N-E-S as an allowable word.
