Saturday,
October 26 Let’s go to Jacob Lake
My human
took me to a big dirt area with plants.
I got to roll and I got to sniff plants. Shh… I ate a little of one of
the plants. But I didn’t throw up!
We did our
walk exploring the East View area. Lots
of views of the Grand Canyon. There are
faucets with spring water for you to refill your water containers. It is a nice area, and it is not nearly as
busy as other parts of the park.
We leave out
the east to the town of Cameron. I
believe this is hwy 89. We turn
north. We then take the road that goes
to Jacob Lake. Maybe that is 89, I don’t
have a map in front of me. I guess you
just have to believe me! This is a
lonely two lane highway that takes us across reservation land. We are basically in the middle of nowhere!
We come upon
a bridge across the river. We pull over
and actually find a spot we could park in this small lot. We hike across the bridge which offers some
stellar views of the river.
Back on the
road, it becomes a bit windy through piney woods. We ultimately arrive at the Jacob Lake RV
park only to find it closed for the season.
Hmm… we see another sign for RV camping, so we follow the signs down a
dirt road… closed for the season. Gee thanks…
If you were not going to post signs that it was closed, you could at
least have a spot where we could turn around!
Well, we have no choice but to continue down the dirt road. Soon, we see a couple of other rigs parked in
the forest. We see a clearing with a
fire ring. Maybe we can stay there? It isn’t easy, but we are able to make the
turn (unbeknownst to us… the trees ate our TV antenna). We tried to position ourselves, but it was
just not level enough for our taste. We
saw a spot early on when we turned on the road, so we headed back. We pass a sign that says ‘no shooting for the
next mile’. I guess that’s a good thing
for us! When we got to the spot, there
was a truck, but they were only there for lunch so the spot was ours. We positioned ourselves, then… can we disconnect… we did disconnect, but I am not sure we
should have. But alas… It is the first weekend of deer season. At least we are in the ‘no shooting’ zone!
Pine trees
tower above us and we have a nice fire ring.
This is perfect!
