MWT – Company at the canyon

I’ve been trying to entice my dearest friend Berta to the North Rim for three summers. She finally made the seven hour drive and was in awe.
01 Berta below the lodge NR GRCA NP AZ (768x1024)
Our first day we explored the area around the Lodge.
02 Moonrise from Pt Imperial NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x757)
Then later went to Point Imperial for moonrise.
03 Berta in front of Wotons Throne Cape Royal NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x598)
The next day we drove out the scenic road to Cape Royal.
04 Colorado River view from Walhalla overlook NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768)
And worked our way back stopping at numerous canyon overlooks. Just like real tourists.

MWT – Cabin in the forest

01 Road into cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768)

Saturday, after the chores were done, Mike and I took a ride into the Kaibab National Forest to check out a little cabin we’d seen buried in the woods.

02 Cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (1024x761)

The place is barely visible from the North Rim Parkway (SR67) yet that obvious narrow gravel road called us to explore.

03 Inside cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (1024x833)

Deserted, yet an open door spurred us to peak inside and the place was clean and inviting.

04 Wood cook stove in cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (768x1024)

This place has all the conveniences. Well almost. No running water, but there’s a cook stove and plenty of wood.

05 Mike in the outhouse by cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (768x1024)

Plus the nearby privy…(oops, sorry Mike)

06 View from outhouse by cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (768x1024)

…with a great view.

07 Barn-shed by cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768)

Even with trees fallen on the roof, the barn/shed looked in good repair.

08 Barn-shed & boots on fence by cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768)

And the fences were stout. Made me wish I had horses to ride out onto the meadows and into the forest, then back for a safe night for all.

09 1929 carved into aspen by cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768)

Some of the old dead/dying aspen carry heavy marks from past visitors…

10 '91 & names cared into aspen by cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (768x1024)

…some more recent than others.

11 Cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (1024x750)

I could move right in. Except that I love my new 5th-wheel and it’s modern conveniences. But there’s a place there I could park for a while.

12 Meadow view from cabin off SR67 Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768)

Although this is public land I can’t find anything online about the cabin. Yet I suspect it’s from the late 1800s to early 1900s ranching days. No signs except a number on the door. I hope to get more information from the District Ranger office in Fredonia this week.

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…

My wheeleastate

I am currently…

…boondocking somewhere in southern Arizona.  In the area, give a shout.
