Movin' East - Day 58

Friday, October 31 (Happy Birthday, "AJ"), Day 58 - The Grand Canyon, South Rim.

As you can see by the photo, we finally did make it to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. This was truly worth the trip. The scenery from the South Rim was fantastic. The only unfortunate thing about today is that the sky was not as clear blue as we have seen the past few weeks. Today, the sky was partly sunny, with lots of big, white, puffy clouds, which cast shadows over the scenery, making it difficult to see the detail in the shots. In addition, it was a bit hazy, which also contributed to the limited visibility today. Anyway, check out the album, as most of the photos came out pretty well.

After visiting the South Rim (we used the free shuttle buses here, also), we returned to the motor home and picked up the dogs, then we drove into the town of Williams, Arizona. This is a neat little town, with a flavor of the "old west". Lots of "saloons" and cafes, and they all looked pretty inviting. We were scouting out the location of the only Catholic Church in town, St. Joseph's, which is way out in the far end of town. We will attend the 8AM Mass on Sunday, then we will have breakfast at the "Route 66 Diner" in town before pulling out and heading east for Albuquerque, NM.

Tomorrow, we will head down into Sedona (again), and on to Jerome for a visit there. I don't know what we'll have for pictures tomorrow, probably shots of Sedona and Jerome, but be sure to check back tomorrow for details and photos of that trip.
