Summer Camping Adventures Part 3A

 After packing up and having lunch with the parentals, we left them behind and headed for Williams, AZ. 


Saw this at the entrance to Holbrook.


First stop was the Geronimo Trading Post outside Holbrook to see the world's largest petrified tree. 



Next we made a pit stop in Winslow for a treat.

Root Beer Float
We arrived at Trailer Village in Grand Canyon National Park and got all set up. Later that afternoon we had some visitors.


They are going around to water spigots that we have for our water hookups and trying to drink from the leaky ones.
Here's Benny looking at the elk as they wander by. 



 They come everyday all through out the day.



On Saturday we dropped Benny at a kennel for a few days and we headed to the Grand Canyon West to go to the Skywalk. This is a horseshoe shaped glass bottom walkway protruding 70 feet out over the canyon. It can support the weight of 70 Boeing 747 passenger jets.  It hangs about 4000 feet above the floor of the Colorado River Valley.
Once we arrived, we had lunch with a view and then stood in line for 1.5 hours to walk out on the Skywalk. It was so cool and so worth the wait.  There were a lot of people who were afraid or nervous walking out there but not us! I loved it!








More to come in part B.
