So the next day we were off to the north rim of the Grand Canyon where we would meet my father and sister. The distance wasn't great as the crow flies, but for some reason there aren't any routes that are super direct. Maybe it's because of the big hole in the ground.
We made an unscheduled stop at the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert. Very, very cool. We picnic'd there, and had a great time. Arizona is the last state that doesn't observe daylight savings time, which meant calculations on arrival time needed to be done carefully.

| These were so neat |

| What a rock garden |

| We got kids booklets for them to fill out as we traversed the trails. |

| At least she didn't weigh as much as the tree |
I was very grateful that my Dad and Elizabeth were there -- they rented a cabin and got free showers. The showers for camp1ers were several dollars a minute. We didn't feel up to using our camper shower after the hot day in the sun
