If you have been to the Grand Canyon then you understand
when we say words and photos
cannot begin to describe the formations,
the vastness,
and the colors.
If you haven’t visited the Grand Canyon, you must go and see
for yourself.
Having visited here twice before, Captain explained to ABN,
you really can’t get a good perspective unless you hike down into the canyon. So we
did; two miles down Bright Angel Trail
Two Mile Switchback |
and two miles back up to the rim, stepping aside to let the mule
train pass.
Sunday we set the alarm so we could watch the sun rise over
the rim.
and attend worship service provided by three college
students from A Christian Ministry in the National Parks (ACMNP)

Even though the two of us made up the entire congregation,
it was still a beautiful experience.
The Wanderer was
parked at Mather Campground inside
the park for 3 days and 4 nights with no electricity, water or sewage hook-up.
With the solar panel upgrade, we did just fine. We were pleased to share the
campground with a lot of young folks (most folks our age must have been in the full service campground or
perhaps at one of the lodges.) And, of course, we had the company of
many squirrels, ravens,
mule deer and some elk.
It was a welcome break from the internet and television (hope we didn’t miss anything that was
truly important.)
Refreshed, we said good-bye to one of God’s beautiful
masterpieces
and are continuing our journey toward home.
