Grand Canyon et al


TO SPARKS-

The times we shared were short lived, but the memories will last a lifetime. For those that never met him, you have missed a kind, caring, and adventurous little dude. Your company will be missed, we can only hope you were rescued by another traveler, someone to set you back on your path. We like to think. RIP Sparks. PS- Mer wants me to apologize for leaving you on the side of “the loneliest road.” PSS- Did I leave my shoes with you? If so, I’ll come back and get ya.


Speaking of shoes, just a few miles down the same road, we came to this. Not sure how things like this happen, I guess it just snowballs after someone tossed there (boy)friends smelly shoes.


We camped that night high above Cedar City, outside Brianhead for you MTB’ers, just off some dirt road. Refusing to pay for lodging for two weeks travel can sometimes be tough… and the cold temps and high winds almost cracked us. But we headed out early and made the short push to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. My first time here, and it lives up to the hype. We drove a long, slow 15 miles on another dirt road, battering the poor Legacy, but eventually arrived at our site for the night, a lovely little camp just on the Canyon Rim.

This morning we toured the canyon a bit more before loading up and scootin’ to Moab for some slick rock adventures.

Cheers, Brig
