Wednesday June 30th



This is Sam. OK, so the blog may not be in chronological order. Today we visited the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. No pictures or words can capture the rugged beauty that our Creator has crafted. We went from 5000 ft to 9000 ft at the rim. The RV struggled a little, but we made it. We are now in St. George, Utah. The temperature went from 75 degrees at the rim to 105 degrees here. But it's a dry heat, uh huh.

Oh, and we had a 'mini-tow' yesterday. The RV had to be towed 1 block to the Road Runner Auto Mechanics. It turns out that the fuel pump fuse blew right in the middle of an intersection. I don't really know why. Everytime the engine hesitates, so does my heart. Is this the next breakdown?

Tomorrow we plan to drive through Las Vegas and visit the Hoover Dam. And then? We don't know yet. Somewhere in California.

Here are some photos.






You lose some quality during the uploads, sorry. The above photo is a cross-eyed 3D photo. Tilt your head upward and focus on the tip of your nose. The 2 photos turn into 3 photos. Slowly begin to focus on the newly formed middle photo. Keep trying until the middle photo turns 3D. Pretty neat.



You can barely see the people on top of the rock.


A desert flower.

  2. Sam and Renea, I'm having a ball reading your blog -- this is great, and the pictures are wonderful! It's kind of funny, too, because Mark and I have been talking about the same thing -- taking a trip out West in an RV! We'll have to pick your brains before we make a decision. :)
