Kaibab Camper Village, Jacob Lake, AZ:

Decided to drive up to Kanab, UT, today. Wanted to try and get my hair cut and we needed a few things at the grocery store. Kanab is the nearest, decent-sized town. So we left our lush forested area and drove down into an arid, flat, sage brush covered valley. Kanab is a cute little town. They have a couple of movie sets there—one for “Gunsmoke” and some episodes of “The Lone Ranger” were filmed here also. They’re all on private property and they’re just ruins anyway. The hair salons were all closed. So we picked up a few groceries and headed back. It was 99 down in the valley—and 76 where we’re staying.
