The adjective “Grand” is used a limited three times in this entry.
The drive was monotonous, mostly because we’ve been driving for 27 days now and have been in this region enough to no longer shout, “COOL ROCKS!” every ten minutes. Regardless, arriving at the Grand Canyon was glorious! It is massive! Red! Beautiful! Deep! Ancient! Flaring! Vast!
We stopped at several viewpoints, but even on a Monday in October it was crowded! Being misanthropes for the day, we moved on quickly.
We found a place with internet, and updated THIS blog , planned the remainder of our trip out and facebooked. It made us feel great to know the plans for the next two weeks!
It would have been unsatisfactory and lame to have not hiked on day one in Grand Canyon, so we did the easy Rim Hike for 3 miles. We also filmed a parody of a recent film. See Below:
Then we meet Deb and Rob, our couch surfing hosts! They are practically celebrated in their references AND they have “gold panning” listed as an interest on their profile! We knew we had to stay with them. Apparently they felt the same way about us, because as the only host in the Grand Canyon, they are bombarded with requests, yet still said YES to us.
They are so generous and into this couch surfing thing! They even gave us couch surfing pins, dinner AND pamphlets for the area! They are greater than any visitor center.
