Day 40 Still more Grand Canyon

We are still at the Grand Canyon at Mather campground, and planning to stay another day. We have to renew our campsite by 11 am. It is now about 10 am wednesday. Yesterday we started out walking the rim east, but by the time we got to first place where there was a bus stop, there was no food available, and being hungry we took the bus back to central village to eat. At 3 pm we watched the ranger program about the California Condors. We talked to her and found out she was from Oak Harbor, OH. We did not see any Condors. The previous day we saw one setting on a ledge. Later we took another bus west to the end of the line and watched sunset. We caught the last bus back to village and went to a resturant to eat supper, but there was an 1.5 hr. wait so we went back to camper. Still have problem sending pictures.

Day 39 More Grand Canyon

Yesterday we left camp at about 11 am and walked the mile to the rim of canyon. We then proceeded to walk west on the rim trail taking a lot of pictures and looking at all the beautiful scenery before us. We ate lunch at Grand Canyon village, and proceeded on west unill about 5 pm. They have shuttle buses that go along the road and make 8 stops in about 7 miles. We were getting tired and it was getting on to sunset so we caught a bus and went back to the village. I think we walked about 4.5 miles along the rim trail. We had supper and took another bus back to camper. Sorry we have a lot of great pictures but this connection is too poor to send any.

Day 38 Grand Canyon

We are at the south rim of Grand Canyon at a campground called Mather. We was going to go to the new Skywalk at Grand canyon west, but changed minds after we found out it was many miles of stone road that is very rough. Last night we rode the bikes down to the rim trail, took a few pictures before dark. I been having a lot of trouble posting my blog. Worked for several hours last night trying to connect properly. I think I got it working now. It is pretty cold here, after our heat wave at Laughlin. It was 32 degrees last night. A few minutes ago I had my connection device up on the roof of camper, and a raven came along and tried to steal it. I will try to add pictures later, I am sending this while it still works.
