Knab, Utah 5/14/2013

We drove from Monument Valley to the Grand Canyon on Sunday, May 12th. It was packed with people. Lots of languages we couldn't understand. We have never seen so many rental RV's as we have on this trip. So, the economy worldwide must be good enough that we are having lots of foreign visitors viewing the sites of the USA. We were unable to get a camping site at the park but were directed to a really neat site in a national forest (Kaibab Nat. Forest) 10 miles south of the park. The Grand Canyon is an impressive site. If you haven't seen it , please do. Pictures are great but the sight of its grandeur is amazing. We then drove on Monday AM to Jacob Lake, AZ (also a national forest campground). The temperature was in the 90's at 5000 ft. but at our campsite in Jacobs Lake, the altitude was 8000 feet and much cooler. We drove to Knab today, after visiting the Pipe Spring National Monument. Tomorrow we head for Zion National Park. We have already determined the campgrounds are full so made a reservation at the Bauer Canyon Ranch RV Park. Since Beth's maiden name is Bauer, we felt we should camp there.
