Roll up your bag. We're burning daylight!
With eyes blinking in the piercing desert sunlight, Grant rolled out of his sleeping bag. We shared a few granola bars, some OJ and banana bread in our camp chairs, then swept the dust and insects off the ground cloth and as we folded it to fit below the ice chest. With everything loaded into the cargo space, it was just a few miles out of camp when we turned off the highway for a Sunday drive over 17 miles of gravel road through the Valley of the Gods. It was to be a slow, photo-op kind of drive. We had reservation that evening for a US Forest Service campground on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Some of what we saw in the Valley of the Gods is shown below.
Exit the Valley of the Gods.
Get gas at Mexican Water where the filling station store was advertising Navajo Rugs for sale inside; but someone scratched a "D" in front of the word "rugs". HaHa :-).
We drive west on to see the Grand Canyon.
