We arrived at the South rim of the Canyon about two pm. There
was quite a large crowd and parking spaces were hard to find. I have seen many pictures of the Grand Canyon and did not expect
to see any thing much to talk about. As I stepped up to the rim of the Canyon for the first time the sight was almost unbeliveable.
Until you see it in person and see the vast expanse of the Canyon and the time it must have took mother nature to
carve all the sights can one put it into perspective with the millions of years it took to create such a beautiful sight.
After a picnic lunch at the edge of the Grand
Canyon we left the area back toward the four corners area, when nightfall came we were ready for bed at Gallup, New Mexico.
Still almost 900 miles from home we started wishing we had flown our plane instead of driving we would be only about five
and a half hours from home instead of 17 or 18 hrs.
After leaving Gallup Saturday morning before daylight and a hard days Drive we made it back
to Memphis by 5:00pm and was ready to settle down for a good nights rest in our own bed.
