If you and yours are truly brave you can venture into southern Arizona in August.  Not only is it warm (hot for most of the world) but its also monsoon season.  You never know when it might rain.  Just southeast of Tucson is Kartchner Caverns, it’s a cave that has been preserved, and they have set up an air lock and ventilation system to visitors while keeping the cave from being ruined.  Get reservations early, they sell out lots of weekends.  Now if you really want to experience the Grand Canyon, you must go in.  If you plan to be in Arizona over Labor Day weekend 2003 (Labor Day is the first Monday in September) you are welcome to join some friends and me as we hike rim-to-rim-to-rim.  (Let me know ahead of time so we can get the proper permits.)  You just have to be in shape, if your not and they have to fly you out in a helicopter it will cost about $3000 US.Well, if you haven’t already guessed I am a native of Arizona and have seen most of the state so if you have any questions just ask.  In my not so humble opinion skip any states east of the Mississippi river.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Here are a few links to some stuff in Arizona.Kartchner Caverns: <a href="http://www.pr.state.az.us/parkhtml/kartchner.html" target="_blank">http://www.pr.state.az.us/parkhtml/kartchner.html</a>Grand Canyon: <a href="http://www.thecanyon.com" target="_blank">http://www.thecanyon.com</a>Canyon de Chelly: <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/travel/arizona/features/northern/dechelly042902.html" target="_blank">http://www.azcentral.com/travel/arizona/features/northern/dechelly042902.html</a>Travel guide for Arizona: <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/travel/" target="_blank">http://www.azcentral.com/travel/</a>Well I hope you enjoy your visit to the states!</blockquote>
