This was a drive and drive some more day. The Mohave between Barstow and Needles, California is very desolate. A couple of hours into Arizona as you reach higher altitudes, the landscape is more appealing. Right now it is ablaze with yellow flowers which have responded to the rains of the past two months. We made good time to Williams, quick washed two loads of clothes since we were down to our last day's supply, and naively headed to the Grand Canyon - thinking we would eat a picnic supper at Mather Point. Hah! It is still a jam after school has started. We got in a late walk, and ate our supper in the car afterward. It was a joy to see the Canyon again and to stand in the empty parking lot to scan the heavens. It is so clear there. We also enjoyed the herd of elk grazing on the lawns of several inns.
