Yesterday I traveled to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The picture at the left was taken from Mather Point on the rim trail. (If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you can see Phantom Ranch on the Colorado River.) We had a great outing, stopping at the Visitors' Center, walking the rim trail, checking out the train depot, and having a picnic lunch near the canyon rim. We even visited the cemetary. We decided to drive rather than taking the train from Williams so Sami could make the trip, too. She enjoyed the walk and met lots of people on the trail. She didn't even bother the two deer lying in the bushes just off the trail.
Tomorrow we are leaving for Colorado Springs. We will be there until the end of May. Regards, Gus
Today I got to go to the Colorado Springs Sky Sox baseball game. Pictured at the left are Jim and Pat's grandchildren meeting Sox the Fox, the team's mascot. As part of the Kids' Club, they get to run the bases after the game. Jim and Pat's son-in-law works for Scitor, and the company sponsored a family day at the ball park.
