Grand Canyon

Friday afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday morning was spent at Grand Canyon South Rim.  The Moose and Squirrel stayed at the Trailer Village and we used the park service shuttle. The Trailer Village was pretty nice and not crowded. They had cable but no WiFi.  The south rim was fairly busy with the usual large concentration of Old Codgers,  Japanese, Indians, Germans, & Frogs.  We hiked the rim for about four hours, then with a thunderstorm rolling in we retreated to the Moose for supper.  By 7PM it was cloudy, but dry, and we went to Yavapai Point for Sunset.

Saturday we got up for the 6AM sunrise at Yaki Point ,which was good but not great, and after eight hours of walking only about four mile we again broke for supper, followed by another sunset viewing at Hopi Point. Overall a pretty fantastic weekend.
