grand canyon - north rim - camping



It was a cold and windy day..... I am very pleased with my way of approaching the trip. I am getting very organized and now have things arranged the way I would like and can easily find. I woke up this am..my body said..brain.. bathroom and I was in my shoes, fresh clothes in hand and out the door. That is an important organized. I have measured off the campsite to the luve...which is a nice flush toilet. The sink water is cold, but I am sure the shower and wash house will be great and have hot water. I am not going to have a camp fire tonight..but sit around the washing machine and watch the clothes tumble. My site is very nice and i was able to check in early and get organized. After I checked in I went to the main area and hiked out a 1/2 mile to the point. In the parking lot were 4 men who would touring...harley & bmw. I told them I too cycle....they did not even grunt when I said I had a 250 Piaggio...(left off the beverly). they were all tall but even if they were short they could have looked down at me. There are many bikes on the road and they are usually camping. This morning I saw a cayote by the side of the road and more mule dear, a grouse, and funny squirels that are black with fuzzy ears and white tail. First I thought it was a shunk and then learned it was a kaibar squirel... and rare to the area... of course they scamper faster than I can shoot.... oh well

 Wow, it is easy to slip into a similar pattern to what I had at home. I produced a plan to change many things - delete more emails, eat hea...
