Thanks so much for taking such good care of us - it was a wonderful trip - great food, comfortable camp - and oh, what a beautiful place. Thanks especially for your patience with this ol' lady - getting me up and down the Mooney Falls vertical trail without mishap - and your sensitive love of this very special place.
Best, -

Although my AOA Havasupai experience was already 4 years ago, I remember that fantastic experience as if it was yesterday. It really was a phenomenal adventure, and I have discussed it with several people, and hope to plan a group event with you in the future to share the experience ... I WILL be back to tour with you again!
Best regards, -
