I live at the Grand Canyon and am able to get to Havasupai quite often while working as a trail guide. I have actually yet to witness a washing machine go down via mule, now a days they helicopter those things in. But I have to say the missle idea is quite unusual! Thank you for this little video, it's quite informative.

Thanks for the Videos. We have them at National Geographic and it really helps to tell a story.
