Day #5- Who Ya Gonna Call? Ghost Busters!

Today is the day!!  We get to take the ghost tour of Grand Canyon Caverns- as seen on tv's Ghost Adventures.  Unfortunately, we had all day to wait for our tour.   What to do, what to do?  Well first, we had to talk the hotel into allowing us to stay until time for our tour.  The lady at the desk was just chatting away with me when I happened to glance down and there was a very tiny baby with her boobie in its mouth.  Right there for the world to see.  She never even blinked an eye when I walked up and started speaking to her.  Ok.  Well, that was more than I was expecting, but she did allow us to stay late.  All the brochures and info I have read said that the West rim of the Grand Canyon could be found in Peach Tree, which is only 9 miles away, so we decided to go check it out.  We take a turn, as seen on a very small map of the area showing canyon places, and start down a very steep rocky road.  This road was nothing but rocks, windy, and straight down.  Now, we should have wondered why we were going DOWN when we should have been going UP to see the canyons.  But no.  Wouldn't be us if we thought things out.  At one point we had to stop for some wild donkeys.  Further and further we go until I pull out the pamphlet with the little map and start reading carefully.   To our surprise,  we were on a restricted Haulupai Indian Reservation road that leads straight to the bottom of the canyon- to the Colorado River.  It is the only road to the bottom of the canyon.  We immediately turned around and headed back up the mountain, praying the Haulupai police were not waiting.   Deep sigh of relief when we got to the top and all was clear.  So have we seen the Grand Canyon?  Nope.  But we sure have been in it!
Fast forward a few hours and it is ghost time!  First of all, for those of you who don't know, we have ghost hunting equipment and it is a little hobby of ours.  The guide was excited to hear what we had and wanted us to bring all of our equipment on the tour.  The caves were a level of dark and silence that we have never experienced.  Nothing could be seen.  As we walked thru, we took pictures and used our other equipment to try and get some spirit evidence.  We definitely saw, heard, and felt some very unexplainable things.  It was one of the most amazing experiences that we have ever had.
We are now in a town about an hour from Vegas and are going to go thru our pictures to see what we caught on film tonight.  On to Vegas tomorrow...stay tuned!
