I can identify with that temptation! He's darling and looks so pettable. But I'll bet Mama would be right there butting you if the devil got the better of you!

I am sure she would but that is not what keeps me away. It is wrong to do anything to domesticate a wild animal, especially in a National Park.ArdraF said:I can identify with that temptation!

I don't have to imagine. I have three cats that think I should spend my entire day petting them. ;DArdraF said:Totally agree - but we can have fun imagining! ;D

It is a wonderful campground. The last time I camped there we were the only people in the entire campground and it snowed on us and it was June. Me and my girlfriend took a short hike down the trail singing "Walking In A Winter Wonderland".blw2 said:We had given up our July Trailer Village reservations when we changed our trip dates, so after a day of visiting much of the South Rim, we ended up our first night in a dispersed area I found using Allstays off Fire Road near Grandview. Maybe the best campsite I have ever been in?.for sure the best in the RV!
I used to enjoy hanging out at the end of the tunnel and pointing out the hieroglyphs to hikers. Some people mentioned they had hiked the trail many times and never noticed them. There is no sign pointing them out and they are not mentioned in any literature anywhere probably to keep vandals from messing them up.The next day brought us more South Rim adventure, bus ride out to Hermit Point, and a short hike down Bright Angel. Thanks to Sellerbird I seemed like an expert pointing out the hieroglyphs!
There are outlets in the restaurants at Maswik Lodge and several other places on the south rim. I have spent dozens of nights camping there and rarely do you see another camper. It is like paradise to me.DW wanted to try for a space in the RV park here in Tusayan, but before visiting there to check I took a drive down Long Jim Loop Road to see the area Sellerbird had suggested a long time back when I first started planning the trip. Charging our devices can wait till an RV park in Page, or by generator on the road. Thanks Sellerbird!
I did not land in Florida on purpose, my RV died and no one could figure out how to get it running properly again so I took it as a sign from God that after ten years of full timing and driving around the country like a crazed pinball that it was time to hang up the keys and settle down. I lived on the left coast for over 40 years, the midwest for 10 years so I decided the east coast would be cool to live at since I had not spent much time there. I really love it here and I have a great location but I really do miss the canyon and all the beauty out west. I visited there last year and I will visit it again in 2019.Oh question to Sellerbird.... I can now see why you and so many others like it so much out here.....but why on earth then did you land in Florida?
Vegas is pretty good depending on what you are looking for. For us it is:SeilerBird said:Brad, keep up the trip reports, I am nothing but jealous, my old stomping grounds. Mostly those rental RVs are being rented by foreigners. And most foreigners want to visit Las Vegas.
