Troll...<BR><BR>I think the name is really too druggy<BR><BR>If you have to ask how much, you can't afford it.<BR>If you have to ask if it's worth it, it isn't.

I think you're all being too hard on Toddruggy. We have visited the Canyon twice and on one visit, stayed in a hotel on the rim. The sunset was simply incredible.<BR><BR>It's apparent that Toddruggy has better things to do with his time and should probably stay away.

Nina, how does one find your trip report? Thanks.

Suzanne, you are hysterical! I, too, love this thread--a classic troll post.

Thanks, you can tell I'm new at this. Have read lots of interesting stuff already.

The Grand Canyon is a myth.

Chill. I understand that if you manage to score some wild peyote prior to viewing the canyon, that you will most definitely not be bored. Have a great trip.

toddruggy, this quote is from your original post----&gt; &quot;Hi, I'm wondering if the grand canyon is worth seeing.&quot;<BR>
<BR>
Nowhere in your post did you ask if people LIKED the Grand Canyon.<BR>
<BR>
If you read the title to your post you will see how stupid the question seems to be.<BR>
<BR>
As for your coworker calling the Grand Canyon dumb, it would be similar to calling your heading smart.

Todd- personally, I didn't doubt the authenticity of your question - I checked your other inquiries and saw you were headed to Arizona so I figured that is why you'll be a &quot;couple of hours away&quot;.

In any event, the reason everyone thinks you are a troll is because most people will tell you that the GC is one of the most awe-inspiring places on the face of the earth, and for someone to ask if it's &quot;worth it&quot; is almost (okay it is) laughable.

I don't think anyone has ever seen the words &quot;dumb&quot; and Grand Canyon&quot; in the same conversation. Your co-worker most likely suffers from room-temperature IQ and I suggest if you wish to be upwardly mobile at your place of work, you avoid him like the plaque.

I would rather go to Las Vegas and go to the Desert Passage Mall. I did see the Grand canyon from our airplane and that was cool, but, it was enough nature for me.

gkins Apr 23rd, 2003 01:11 PM

In a word &quot;YES&quot;. Go and see it. Don't worry about some of these ridiculous replies. Some people have too much time on their hands. I hope I spelled RIDICULOUS correctly or I'll get a lot of ridicule from others. Enjoy your trip and enjoy the Grand Canyon.

Gail, I'm disappointed in your suggestion. A 90 mile an hour trip down filthy Rt 46 with people entering and exiting strip-malls in front of you is much more exhilarating than some nearly dried out river bed out west.

I was in Arches National Park and overheard a lady say &quot;if you've seen one arch you've seen them all&quot;. I don't know her but I do know that her and have opposite opinions on the subject.

I love seeing new arches and I love going back and seeing the ones I already have seen. That lady will never be back.

It's hard to say what one person will like and another won't like.

I would venture to guess if you like beauiful natural scenic areas then it won't be a waste of time. There isn't a picture yet that I have seen that does the Grand Canyon justice.
