We left Frontier camp a day late because the mechanic replaced our fan clutch in our van. So we left Sunday morning about 6:30 on our way to the Grand Canyon. Part way there we decided to drive straight thru to the canyon. As we were getting back on the highway after supper someone told us that our tire was going flat on the van. We pulled off the road pumped up the tire from 20 pounds to 40 pounds with my bike tire pump, made a u turn and went back to the town to a truck repair stop and the they changed the stem that was going bad. God sure was involved in the timing. The repair shop was only open for another half hour. We could have been out in not where in the middle of the nite with a real flat tire.
We arrived at the grand canyon at 4 am and slept in a parking lot until sunrise. We enjoyed the sunrise over the canyon. We had a breakfast and got to our campsite by noon. We spent the day exploring and getting ready for our trip into the canyon the next two days.
Tuesday and Wednesday we hiked down and out of the Grand Canyon. A total of 16 miles. We were tired, but we loved the accomplishment. We left the Canyon and drove toward Bryce Canyon and found a campground about mid-nite. We slept in and enjoyed Bryce Canyon for about 3 hours and drove to the Autrey's home Thursday nite. We have had a great three days here where we have been able to access the internet. We are getting ready to leave here on Sunday afternoon. Not sure when I can post again on the trip. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
