Day 21
Well, we have been without Internet for the past few days. It’s been hard, but we have managed to survive. We’re staying at an RV park in Dewey, Arizona, though, and they have one fast wireless connection. Thank God!
So… what have we been up to the last few days? Let’s see…
On Day 18, we drove from Cannonville, Utah, to Kaibab National Forest, where we stayed at the Kaibab Camper Village. It was a beautiful area! On Day 19, we visited the north rim of the Grand Canyon. All I can say is: Wow! God is so powerful to create something like that. It’s amazing.
At the end of Day 19, we ended up in Page, Arizona, staying at the Wahweap Campground, near Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. On Day 20, Mark, James and I embarked on a four-hour, 15-mile float trip down the Colorado River. We started at the Glen Canyon Dam and got out at Lee’s Ferry. It was awesome!! The ride was pretty gentle, but it was just so cool riding down in this canyon, with 1000-foot-high red rocks on either side of you. We had a grand time!
Today, Day 21, we drove from Wahweap down to Dewey, Arizona. Before arriving in Dewey, though, we spent some time at the south rim of the Grand Canyon. I’ve got to say that I think I like that even better than the north rim! Both are beautiful, but I think the view of the south rim is more striking.
This evening, Mark, James and I drove out to a Golden Corral for dinner. Tomorrow is James’ 17th birthday, and we were going to take him out for supper. He chose Golden Corral, and the two of us were happy to go there with him.
I may post a few pictures soon. So… stay tuned for that!
