The highlight of the day was visiting the Grand Canyon on our way to Page Arizona. Unlike five years ago when we visited the south rim of the Grand Canyon this time we made our way to the opposite side. We drove through broad meadow land lush and green almost parkland. The road was made up of long curves, but punctuated by tight twisty corners perfect Morgan material. The North rim is a quiet place compared to the very commercial and crowded South Rim, true it doesn’t have that so dramatic, stomach curdling view straight down into the mile deep canyon, but it does have charm and a very peaceful atmosphere. The Lodge Hotel had floor to ceiling windows and an outside balcony that gave one hundred and eighty degree views across the Canyon. We did some very light hiking to various lookout points, often not for the faint hearted as rails and fencing were conspicuous by their absence.
Our journey from the North Rim to Page AZ was just over one hundred miles mostly through hot dry desert on very good roads. Five Morgans made very rapid progress to Page not all at legal speeds, but very invigorating on a hot day.
Roger and Linda Lacey caught up with us at the hotel in Page having driven over six hundred miles in one day! Their new sump behaving perfectly.
