See Tim has earned a lifestyle change. Good luck Tim. Still FOAD bragging
on his omnipresence. Went to Williams, AZ for a few days to ride the Polar
Express with the granddaughters. 5-5-7. Was fun. Took a day trip up to
the Grand Canyon. Nice hole in the earth still. Big herd of elk by the
entrance. Seemed to be all does. Hunting season open, so maybe the Bakst
are hiding. Long drive. About 1500 miles total. Did take a few days for
the drive. If go next year, may fly to Vegas and rent a car. Did snow
Friday for the train ride. Rest of the time cold. Last times I was in
Williams, Route 66 still ran through the town. 1964 January. And 1965
July.

The Polar Express sounds like fun. I like that 15% military discount too!

We did the Utah trip a few years back with our first RV. Saw Bryce Canyon, Zion,
Arches, Canyonland, and North Rim national parks. Spectacular!

How was the north rim compared to the south rim? We were thinking of

doing it but it seemed to be a bit out of the way.
I used to work with an AZ National Guard unit in Flagstaff, so I got to see the south
rim a few times. I like the North Rim much, much more. Several lookouts, nice
trails, great facilities. If you plan to stay at the lodge or cabins at the park,
make reservations early - like now!

spots nearby and accessible which could accommodate?
