We survived our hike to the bottom of Grand Canyon quite nicely, thank you. We set off down the Canyon at 5:30 a.m., and arrived almost a mile deep a little before noon. Then it was two nights camping at Phantom Ranch and the long slog back up. Temperatures weren't the 110 degrees they can be and, better, yet, we had a little rain on the way down and gully-washers both days at the bottom. Today we're at Bryce Canyon then it's on to Yellowstone and a few more stops before turning east. So far so good for the '84 VW Westfalia camper except that one headlight is out. We just had the oil changed after driving 4,000 miles. (Please don't tell our mechanic that we drove it that far before changing the oil, but there aren't a lot of Jiffy Lubes in the desert.). Back July 21 (or maybe the 22nd). Then Green Alert blog will fire up again and I'll have the regular site hopping.
