Wednesday morning I finally rolled away from my winter home towing my new 5th-wheel under a brilliant blue Arizona sky. I’m headed back to work at Grand Canyon National Park, a paid vacation.
Mt Humphreys
Hours later, heading east on I40 towards Flagstaff a brief yet heavy spattering of large rain drops barely wet the highway while snow fell on the North Rim of Grand Canyon where I’m heading Thursday.
Suppose to be clear skies for the next leg of my journey.
The clouds drifted away with the westering sun.

Upon getting to the canyon there’s a good possibility I won’t have internet in my RV. Unfortunately my smart phone doesn’t work well under the towering Ponderosa pine forest. (It’s a trade off.) Yet I can find places where it will work and get online. Please don’t think I’m ignoring you as I will try to keep up as I can. I will also continue to badger Qwest for my usual DSL.
Safe travels, Gaelyn. We all look forward to your returning to the Grand Canyon, though not as much as you do! A "paid vacation," indeed! Lovely photos.
Wow wow wow – that mountain shot is stunning!
Those skies are stunning. We will be here when you are back on line 🙂 Diane
oh, so lovely photos! my favourites are the the two from the bottom.
betty xx
safe travels!
I thought I recognized Mt Humphreys from our trip last month. Most of our route was different but now I have a feel of the territory you will drive through.
Safe travels to "home", Gaelyn.
I'm looking forward to new photos of the Canyon. Hopefully Qwest will come through for you–just keep badgering them till they give in.
Have a great journey–
Gaelyn, I hope your summer is simply outstanding and the weather warms. I am not ashamed to say that I am very jealous! Look forward to each and every post whenever they come!
Smiles
P.S. Your last two photos are stunning 🙂
Nice shots! Safe travels, and good luck with the DSL. We're supposed to get a little snow tomorrow night again, and maybe next week.
I'll bet you are glad to be getting back to work. That last photograph with the pink clouds shot through the pine needles is just wonderful.
On the road again…love the framing of that last shot, Gaelyn! Hope the Canyon didn't get too much snow. We were having snow in Breck when we left town.
Fancy new digs, my friend! We take off in our own new traveling home tomorrow. (Nervous! Send us good vibes.)
Love the cloud formations in the Humphreys shot.
Wonderful skies! Enjoy your trip!
Hope you get your internet connection going. In the meantime, enjoy being back at the Grand Canyon and in that beautiful 5th-wheeler.
Gaelyn,
Your photos are wonderful and I can only smile at the beginning of a wonderful adventure for you. Wishing you a wonderful summer.
Howdee, I know how it is when the internet is bad..wont be able to load up my blog with all the photos I put in.
just stop over on facebook and say hello.
It must feel good to be back in the park. I really hope you can get your adsl sorted out. Was just thinking of you "paid vacation" statement… I could do with one of those.
Beautiful sky photos, Gaelyn! Love the last two shots. I know you will be enjoying your work at the Grand Canyon!
Pretty photos of the scenery, Gaelyn. I hope you're settled in by now.
Love your fifth wheel. That would be equivalent to living in the king's palace for us, compared to the cozy little trailer we're towing. The KOA owner in Miles City even told us, "awww, you're towing that little bitty thing? How cute!" Good thing our trailer doesn't have performance anxiety =)
