Got to teach a class on Mary Colter for the Field Institute. We spent day one talking about Colter and visiting her buildings on the South Rim, including the Watchtower, but we were too tired to get out to Hermits Rest. Then we hiked down the snowy and icy South Kaibab, spent two days at Phantom Ranch, and hiked out. Took an history tour of the Ranch and snuck into the 10-person cabins to look at the prickly pear ceiling. The pipeline was out, again, so we didn't get showers the second night, but they didn't have showers in 1922 either.

First night the door to the bathroom was so squeaky everyone woke up anytime it was opened or closed. We couldn't find any WD-40, so I stole a pat of butter from dinner and used that on the hinges. Worked great.
