After leaving my broken down car in California (I sold it for parts), and seeing the kids off to fly home with their dad, we took off for the Grand Canyon in hopes of arriving before sunset.
The car situation put us a day behind schedule, we were supposed to have arrived the previous night and enjoyed an entire day in the National Park. Alas, the Universe had other plans for us.
We arrived in time to enjoy the sunset with a crowd of onlookers, then found a free place to camp in the forest just south of the National Forest.
In the AM we ate at a great little camping diner and drove along the south rim as we departed for New Mexico.
