I mentioned the retreat to our AVP for tribal affairs, she grew up in Chinlee and would be happy to set us up with a tour guide of the canyon if anyone is interested, she can arrange for a very good price. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Ethan</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">"</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>

anyone is interested, it could possibly be arranged for early Tuesday morning or Thursday afternoon. At this point, I am not sure what would be involved. Perhaps the tour guide would provide the vehicle. I think that interested people would be on their
own for a guided Canyon de Chelly tour.</span></div>
