North Rim

Day 21 – Saturday

We bounced down Road 611 and arrived at the North Rim Lodge just in time for breakfast.  Alice doesn’t want to go to the Visitor’s Center because she doesn’t want to pass out again.  After checking out the massive expanse, we drove to Cape Royal and went to the Angel’s Window lookout.  

The girls performed a faux wedding at the tiny wedding ceremony site (kiss included) and walked the Cliff Spring Trail.

We’ve checked into the North Rim campground and I’ve done my last three loads of laundry the trip!!  Jason jogged Uncle Jim’s Trail, which sounded like an ankle-breaker since the mules also use it.  Meanwhile, Lady Schroeder’s attended a program about condors.  It’s a good thing Jason wasn’t there because a woman in the audience announced that “condors are killed by the windmills”.  He would have gone off because they’re not called windmills, and they spend millions trying to avoid killing any birds.

Seven Jr. Ranger badges; check.  It’s raining, I am growing tired, and I think the family can tell.  We found take-out pizza and watched the Goonies on our 12” TV.
