Dudley Burgess ’64<\/strong>, an experienced hiker and Grand Canyon veteran, led a group on family friends and Wabash alumni on a hike into and out of the Grand Canyon.<\/p>\n It was…well…simply indescribable! No, better than that!<\/p>\n The trip took place right before Thanksgiving. The group traveled down the South Kaibab trail into the Canyon on Monday, spent Tuesday on day hikes and loosening tight muscles, and Wednesday hiking out on Bright Angel Trail.<\/p>\n Dudley led us in and back out and, as you can see, provided us with a lot of knowledge and insight throughout the trip.<\/p>\n We hope to have a short piece and some photos in an upcoming edition of the Magazine.<\/p>\n Yes…I am ready to go again!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the 1,000 Grunge Report blog. Fitting. Very fitting. <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dudley Burgess ’64, an experienced hiker and Grand Canyon veteran, led a group on family friends and Wabash alumni on a hike into and out of the Grand Canyon.

It was also a family affair as Dudley’s three sons – Andy ’90, Matt ’92, and Mark<\/strong> – joined him in the hike as did close family friend Tim Oliver ’91<\/strong>. Rounding out the Wabash contingent were my son Chris Runge ’94<\/strong> and the Grunge ’71.<\/p>\n
