Virus in the Canyon

Natalie Compton for Washington Post:

More than 150 rafters and backcountry campers who visited the Grand Canyon in April and May reported symptoms of a gastrointestinal illness, the National Park Service said this week.

It’s summer time anyways, and therefore too hot for an R2R2R attempt, but you might want to hold on to make any plans crossing the canyon until this is resolved.
