The grumpy bug showed up yesterday. I suppose that's inevitable when five people share 300 square feet for ten days.
As of today, we have logged over 3,0oo miles. And we did it with a rabbit and a frog!
The further west we travel, the more acclimated we become to California time. No jet lag this trip.
I love the sound of the wind as it finds its way through the tips of the tallest pines. The sound comes out of nowhere and fills quiet space with amazing urgency.
In the Kaibab Indian Reservation/Forest, a camp fire (in a fire ring, of course!) starts with the light of just one match. All you need is a small pile of pine needles, and voilah, enough energy to burn down a forest. We marveled at the fact that fire wood is even sold here, considering we drove through many burnt forests. I guess the reassurance was to be found in the jug of water that accompanied the purchased wood. Remember to drown the fire ring! Bill assured our kids that if they wanted a college education, no one from our family would be responsible for wild fire.
Happy 73rd Birthday Dad! We love you and are awaiting your travel itinerary!!
