Grand Canyon, 4th time. w/Matt

4th trip at the Grand Canyon.  The previous year having issues with heat exhaustion hoping to redeem myself and make it a better trip.  Better planing, hiking Timp 3 times this year, better energy drinks.
Matt and I making great time with no issue.  Starting 2 hours before sun up on the North rim.  Phantom Ranch at 11am, its about 90 degrees.  Coming out of the canyon on the South side I start slowing down.  No major issues until an hour later after we are out of the canyon. Start to feel light headed,  I did not drink enough water again.   I guess I'm going to need to force the water down.

Timpanogos. First time with TERT.

This is my first year with TERT, Timpanogos Emergency Response Team.  This is also my third time on Timp this year.  The first time with my Daughter Steph having a great time with this being her first time on Timp.  She is in very good shape and was having a time trying to keep up with her.  She was having a good time visiting with everyone on the trail.  The second time on my own.

The last trip on Timp went with the TERT team signed up as a extra.  New with Ham radio, no background with medical.  Spending the night on Friday, returning back to cars Saturday evening.  No issues on the trail.  This was also the last weekend of the year for TERT on Timp for this season.
