I told you to meet me here because I wanted you to see the greatest natural wonder we have in the United States, the Grand Canyon, and I am going to work you so hard later on that you won’t have another chance to get here before you go back to college.

You can’t see how we got in here, can you?”,Foot by foot they made their way through the tunnel of dread.
