June 30, Tuesday - Grand Canyon South Rim

Slept in til almost 7 – whoopee! Lin and Ben came over around 7:30 and we had blueberry pancakes and then took the shuttle to the west rim. We walked ½ mile along the rim, but it quickly became too hot for us to do any more walking in the sun. We enjoyed riding the bus to the end of the west rim, enjoying the views from the air conditioned comfort of the shuttle. We stopped at the café for lunch and some internet access.

Jack and I returned to move the RV to a campsite that had electricity – a big plus so we can have air conditioning in this hot weather. This was the first available spot with electricity that we could get – the Canyon is mobbed. Ben and Lin joined us for a nice afternoon nap in air conditioning in the 90+ heat.

We packed a picnic supper and drove out to Yavapai Point to have a late dinner and watch the sunset. The changing colors in the canyon were incredible – what a great day.
