Well not really the center.

I am leaving tomorrow for two nights at the Grand Canyon with my wife and two friends of ours. We will be hiking down to Phantom Ranch, guzzling a Tecate and hiking back up the 4800 feet we came down.

I had considered packing in a sixer of Dales, but it seems extravagent given the circumstances.
