Day 2


We woke up in the Grand Canyon for the first time in 9 years. I handed dad my mp3 with "our song" Paul Anka's "Times of Your Life" and he asked me to play it for him every morning. (I missed one due to rain.)

We rode with Laura and Chris through the roaring twenties stopping for a hike at South Canyon. We saw petroglyphs- some of which were completely recovered with patina. There were also pueblo ruins and pottery sherds.

On the way to lunch at Redwall Cavern we past Lover's Rock. Dad impressed everyone with his Frisbee playing. We went on a "moon walk" and I hung from the ceiling of the cavern for a brief moment. We also took a really great group shot of our silhouettes in the cavern.

We camped early at mile 47 and did a hike up Saddle Canyon. Dad and I didn't finish the last 100 yards of the hike because we forgot water shoes. Hiking back we did have the opportunity to see a six point rack deer with velvet antlers.

Breakfast: eggs to order, melon, grapefruit and bacon
Lunch: Chicken Cesar wraps
Dinner: Brats, burgers and carrot cake
