Day 16

We where unable to get on the blog last night, this is for July 25th, 2013. We picked up our bag lunch at the host motel. Jacque finally met Warwick Landy from Australia who he'd been looking for since the beginning of the week.We started our 205 mile tour to the Grand Canyon North Rim at 7:25 am. Temperature was 71 degrees. Now we know why the Canyon is called Grand, it really is. At the visitor's center we asked what was the best route to take through the park. The ranger was a very personable young woman. Come to find out she is Beth Zovko from Pittsburgh in our own state. The highest elevation we reached today was 8859 ft. We got back to Kanab 22 degrees warmer-93,tired from all the walking at the view points,took some pictures around Kanab,drove about 15 miles out of town to where Gunsmoke was filmed years ago. They had tried to raise money to restore it but it never took off so you will see in the pictures how it looks today but still recognizable.Had our favorite- chicken fried steak for supper and called it a day.
