Grand Canyon

On Monday, we drove up to the Grand Canyon National Park.  There really are no words to describe the beauty of the place.  It truly is breath taking.  I'm not sure why the photos are so washed out, but here's a few shots.




The only wildlife we saw was a couple of deer quietly eating right across the road where we were waiting for the shuttle.


The park was the busiest we had ever seen it.  When we got back to the MH there wasn't a parking space anywhere.  Cars were driving up and down the aisles waiting for other cars to leave and there wasn't an RV parking spot to be had.  I'm not sure why we have experienced the big crowds in the National Parks this trip.  The other two times we have been out west in September, there were not this many people.  In the KOA where we are staying there were 10 Cruise America rentals, 2 Camping World rentals and 2 Roadbear rentals.  I don't think we've ever seen that many rental MH's in one park ever.  Many of them are overseas tourists.

Today we are off to Phoenix to visit Mom and Bud.  I just saw the weather forecast, and it will be over 100 degrees there, but cooling off into the 70's at night.  Not too bad.

That fresh pot of coffee is calling me and you know what they say...coffee is the best thing to douse the sunrise with.
