... impression that I have had on my subsequent two visits. The sign said that pollution has been washing out the colors more and more in recent years. It had a picture of the before and after, which was shocking. Thankfully, it went on to say that due to increased air quality regulations, the situation was getting better. This I was glad to hear!

Tomorrow we will be leaving the Grand Canyon and heading east towards Monument Valley. We soon will be ...

... far below. Nine miles across we could barely see the other rim. It is a spectacular site.

When we first arrived, it was sunny and clear, but by the time we got to Mather there were thunderstorms all around the park. There was lots of sound and fury but not much actual rain. Christine and I attended a ranger talk on the endangered condors in the park, and then walked along the rim a bit before returning to the RV for dinner. After dark ...

... I could of the views. Again the French People took my photos for me by the canyon's edge.

I had a sit down on a small wall whilst looking over the wall in front at the Canyon, a squirrel poked it's head up and looked at me, then went behind the wall again. Shortly afterwards it jumped over and ran towards me and went under my legs and proceeded to violently attack some ice cream on the floor with it's tongue. I then realised there were many little ...

After riding the bus back to the village I made my way back to the car. On the way I saw a huge elk hiding from the sun under the shade of some trees, it was huge! Earlier some deer had run across the path in front of me but they were tiny in comparison to the elk, I think I'd have got a bit of a fright if he'd run across the path in front of me!!

... Tag nochmal kommen....das war mir im
Urlaub zu doof.
Also bin ich weitergefahren, zum Grand Canyon via East Entrance, wo es ruhiger ist.
Dort

ersten Einblick in den Canyon, von Osten eben. Es
ist........groooooooooss.......um es mit einem Wort zu sagen. Wirklich
einfach gross. Riesig gross.
Und alles oben an der Kante ist sehr
organisiert. Es gibt das Village, mit ...

... place where my toenail used to be is still really sensitive, so I did the hike in...yep, you guessed it...my trusty Teva sandals. Let me just say right now, I knew this wasn't the best idea, but I really didn't have a choice. It was either hiking in my sandals or not going, and this was the place on our trip that I wanted to see more than anywhere else, so it wasn't even really a question in my mind. Right when we started I realized that it was going to be slow ...

... souvenirs at a gift shop before starting to drive to our Grand Canyon trail's beginning. Using Bro. Nigel's handy GPS guided computer atlas, we found our dirt road we needed to drive on to get to our destination. A near-empty gas tank caused us to turn around for the nearest gas station. With ample fuel, we got back onto the dirt road. A bumpy, dusty ride was a different experience for all. The road in parts was lined with ...
