July 28th.Mesa Verde to Grand Canyon today. Slept in, did laundry, took showers. Dan used the laundry time to scramble up what looked like a gentle hill but which turned out to end in a sheer drop-off of hundreds of feet on the other side. How deceptive! Here's Bob on top:
Drove on through incredible storms toward Grand Canyon, uncertain of where we'd spend the night. A long pause at the decision point: should we go to the North Rim or the South Rim? Picked the South, as most do, and felt lucky to find a great site (with tree climbing!) in the Desert View campsite a half hour outside of GC Village. Lucky. Climbed the Watchtower and saw a great sunset to mark our arrival. Kind of rainy night, but everyone happy.
