Up at daybreak for the hike out (it's now Monday); we'd heard some horror stories from experienced hikers down at the Ranch and were kinda apprehensive. There was also a book down there, "Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon"; I read the juicy parts, and, although everybody claimed to not want to hear them, they kept asking me for details. In any case, we headed up the Bright Angel Trail, and everybody made it fine.
