One of the little cabins on the North Rim

Tue, 7/7/09

Kaibab Camper Village, Jacob Lake, AZ: Another spectacular morning. Not a cloud in the sky. We changed the sheets and took the dirty ones over to the laundry. Got back from that chore and just sat around reading for a while. After lunch we hiked the little trail over to Jacob Lake Inn. Only a couple of miles through this beautiful pine forest. Decided to treat ourselves. I had a root beer float and Mike had a chocolate milk shake. Then hiked back. The lowering sun was hitting the pine needles making them look almost luminous. The lacy green pines are beautiful against this deep blue sky. I think it hit 89 today. Felt a lot cooler because of the wind. Watched another vintage John Wayne movie filmed in Monument Valley. We leave tomorrow for Zion.
