We took a road trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
On the way we stopped to visit the animals at the Best Friends animal sanctuary.
I had lots of fun playing with the kitties.
"Hello, Grand Canyon!"
The North Rim is about 1,000 feet higher than the South Rim, so it is much cooler.
Only 10% of visitors to the Grand Canyon visit the North Rim.
Mom and I agreed that it was really AWESOME!
We visited the ruins of the Wallhalla Glades Pueblo.
If you get a chance, you should definitely visit!
One interesting story is about 'Brighty'. He was a burro that brought water to the early visitors here. He let little kids like me ride on him, even though he was mostly a wild burro.
Legend has it that if you rub his nose, you will be blessed with good luck.
I rubbed really hard, so maybe I will win the lottery some day!
We also visited Navajo Bridge in Arizona. Actually, it is two identical bridges. One was built in the 1920's and one in the 1990's. (The 1920's bridge couldn't hold the weight of modern vehicles.)
The California Condors nest near the bridge. No matter how hard I searched, I just couldn't see any!
It is a really beautiful spot on the border of the Navajo Nation. The bridge goes right over marble canyon.

I hope you rubbed that burrow for Grammy too. she could use some Good Luck too!!!!! Well. I will close for now. Take care Little Buddy xoxoxoxoxo Grammy A
Maxon, are you keeping track of the miles you travel? I bet by the time you start school you'll have more miles than most of your classmates. They'll wonder how you did it in such a short time.
Glad you're enjoying all your adventures...keep on truckin'
