On Tuesday we decided to leave before breakfast and stop along the way. We stopped in Ludlow, California along historic route 66. It was an old greasy spoon and the woman that waited on us (and the whole place) looked like she might have worked there before interstate 40 went through (although she said she didn’t). It was a long drive to the Grand Canyon, but uneventful. We arrived around 4:00. After cooking dinner we headed out and hiked along the rim a little. It was partly so the girls could see the canyon for the first time and partly so we could get some exercise after two days of sitting and finally so I could see how my newly injured (2 weeks ago) knee would do. It wasn’t great… We watched the sunset and walked back to the car and came back to camp to have a campfire and some s’mores.
