Tucson is ready to be on the road
Check - Gary is still there
Starting to look more like Arizona
There is a window of opportunity to scoot up to the Grand Canyon this morning
The first overlook is at an Indian Craft sale area
Pretty Impressive - that's the Colorado River.
Good think it's a little chilly this morning
Living on the edge!
On our way up the Park entrance, Gary spotted this Elk just off the side of the road.
Made it just as the snow is starting again.
I didn't know that in 1956 a TWA and a United Airlines plane collided over the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is truly amazing and indescribably beautiful. It looks like a movie backdrop - it doesn't even look real.
The clouds parted just in time for the sunrise
Gary is impressed
Well if we're going to make our 300 miles today we regretfully have to leave. Gary asked if we'd be going through Flagstaff. I commented if it's raining here - it's snowing in Flagstaff.
Sure enough!
The there's that downhill thing
No snow below!
Uh oh! Phoenix is on fire
I had originally applied for a job with the Post Office in Phoenix but after driving the 12 lane highway I decided against it.
Decided to pull over at the Escapee's Park in Casa Grande for the night and head into Tucson in the morning. A crop duster was spraying the alfalfa fields across the road.
We spent a week at the canyon last year. It is amazing! We'd like to go back when we can go down into the canyon.
