I turned on the radio to find out what time it was. It was 2110 and I had 
agreed to meet Jerry 1-1/2 hours after dark which I figured would be 2100, 
So I drove down the road and picked up Larry, as he was walking towards me. 
We parked, ate our meal of the day and hit the sack. I listened to Saint 
Saen's Symphony No. 3 which was really great to hear and an aria from 
Samson and Dehllah.

decided we would probably get really close to it if we just flipped over 
the rim above the parking area. This we did and we came out right above 
Canyon !fo. 2. We worked the top cliffs then went over to the large ridge.
