Robert, the charger is part of the Intellibrake braking system that was installed on the car along with the rest of the hitch package.
When leaving the North Rim one year, we actually drove out of our way to Kanab to take 89 to Page instead of 89A. Had a nice stop at the GS-E visitors center and met a docent who actually has a dinosaur named after him because he was the first to find the fossil of this particular species.Nice, John. We made that drive, going the east three years ago. Great scenery. We stayed a week at a park in Fredonia (not far south of Kanab. Enjoy the parks and scenery out there. We also did a day trip, in the car to the North Rim, unforgettable views there and of the Grand Staircase on the way back. Was my first view of that area that told the why the name "Grand Staircase". Also,Toadstool Hoodoos, not too far East of Kanab on 89. Easy hike, for the most part.
Phil, One of my bigger disappointments was finding out the North Rim won't open until May 15th, a week after we leave the area. But if we are allowed to drive down there, I would love to see the Staircase on the way back. We caught parts of it - the beginning - yesterday while on the drive to Kanab. Apparently, another disappointment will be not seeing Peek-a-boo Canyon. It seems you can't get there without a high profile 4x4, and the tour companies take full advantage of that with an average charge of $139 per person. The cheapest I found was $99. Sorry, but I won't pay $200 for my wife and me to be driven to a canyon a few miles away. I'm hoping on finding another slot canyon easy to get to before we leave. Still on my bucket list is seeing the Milky Way in dark sky territory and it appears that may not happen, either. My best opportunity was night before last in Goblin Valley but it wasn't visible. There is a chance to see it while we are in Kanab, but that will mean driving out of town. Too many lights here. We will visit the toadstool hoodoos while here and I'm looking for other things to do besides the obvious national parks. Kodachrome Basin is one on the list. I was going to drive to Horseshoe Bend until I was told that Goosenecks was better and with a shorter hike. We parked right by the ledge.Nice, John.

Jackie, Lick Wash on Google Maps is nowhere near Johnson Canyon Rd. Is there two of them? I think we'll do Willis - you mentioned that before - and Kodachrome Basin the same day since it's in the same area. We're going to drive to the North Rim even though it's not open yet, so we can see the Grand Staircase on the way back.John, Little Wildhorse was close to Goblin and fairly easy as slots go. Lick Wash is on Johnson Canyon Road and has petroglyphs, we haven't done it but I think its short. You will pass the set of Gunsmoke. If road conditions good you can do a loop back but might be too long for dogs to be left.
I think I might have mentioned these and Willis Creek also reasonably close, before, so apologies if I have.
