Sunday 6th May
Lynds driving again and made easy exit onto I40 from Las
Vegas about 10 am and headed for Arizona. Had lunch (sandwiches ex Walgrens )
by side of road at Seligman which is an
old Route 66 town and drove about 10 miles on Route 66 to the next interchange.
Lots of Harleys and classic cars making the stop in Seligman. Had a decent expresso there from a Nespresso machine.
Arrived at Bright Angel Lodge at Grand Canyon south rim about 4.30 pm. Same
National Park $20 fee for 7 days to
drive into park and same good roads with all commercial stuff outside park
boundaries. Hordes of day trippers at the lodge when we arrived but had all
gone by about 7 pm. Lynds suitably impressed by first view of canyon-we walked eastward
along the south rim until after sunset-heaps of people out photographing
sunset. Dinner was 2 superb salads at Bright Angel. Our room ( very comfortable
and with ensuite bathroom) was right out the back in the original part of the lodge which is
a group of buildings, some of which are log cabins.
