A Day at the Grand Canyon

Our first day out we made it to Needles Arizona. That should be the longest days drive. It was 10 hours. We ate at Bob's Juicy cafe. I'm not really sure about the name but it was "something Juicy". (food was good too). Seville, the cat, did well also. She made no messes and and slept most of the way. No more herding in the mornings and no need to wrangle topless. (See posts from trip out.)
The Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular sights in the world. It's like being in church. At least at this time of the year there is very little traffic, no crowds, and few bus tours. Everyone that was there was quiet and awe struck as were we. This didn't stop me from taking 185 pictures. It was very easy to get great positions and take all the time needed to fiddle with the camera. It was kind of different to see a bus load of tourists go to the edge and hold up their I Pads and wave them around. (What must the spirits must be saying?!)
We saw elk, antelope and deer. The deer and antelope seemed to be more interested in grazing than playing, just in case you were wondering. You can see almost the entire southern rim by using the free shuttle service. I highly recommend using them. They stop at the different outlooks every 15 minutes and you get a chance to see the wildlife as well, no, not as in Lohan, just more elk.
Well, got to get packing, we are off to wild and wonderful Amarillo!
