We are staying tonight in the Grand Canyon and remote as it is, internet is sketchy at best. The only place I could find wifi was in the sports bar, you know Greg is crying, having to set here watching football while I blog. But with my glass of zinfandel I will attempt to describe the day. We started out at the Grand Canyon Railway with a western shoot out.
The gang arrived in the town because “MA” had gotten herself arrested the night before and the boys were without money and were hungry. Slick decides to hustle a tourist with a card game for some money. Five aces win and a shoot out insues because someone has to be cheating. In the end they all die except for the Sheriff. It was a fun way to start the morning before we boarded the train. Greg was like a kid, giddy with boarding and riding on a train. Kind of reminded me of Sheldon on Big Bang Theory.
We had dome seats which meant we had a 360 degree view of the ride out to the canyon.
The ride was two and half hours from Williams to the Grand Canyon and we were serenaded by a singing cowboy Cody.
Once we arrived at the canyon we boarded a bus to begin our Southern Rim tour. We had several stops along the way to take pictures…which I did!
I was amazed that you could get so close to the edge. And I did. I dont know what I expected or if I even had an idea. But the Grand Canyon is beyond explanation. The vastness of it is overwhelming evidence of a Higher being, a powerful and mighty God.
Due to the upload being so slow, I will post the sunset tomorrow.
