Kaibab campout + North Rim!

 We were so ready for this campout.  With all of our time in Oregon and then Family Camp and then lots of wonderful rain, we hadn't even been out to camp on our own this year.  Finally, after a week of rains, it stopped and we went!  We found a great place of road #425 on the way to the Timp Point.  It was just a little off the main road and very flat and wonderful.  It's probably someone's favorite deer camp, but thankfully hunting season hasn't started yet.  There was a nice pile of firewood which we enjoyed during the evening with a good book we were listening to.  Paul made us a SO DELICIOUS pork chop, mashed potatoes, beans dinner and we had Jacob Lake cookies for dessert.  We went out to Timp Point earlier in the day and hiked to the end where we could see Thunder River coming out with lots of green around it.  All of the recent rains had made the whole area green and covered in flowers which isn't the usual thing at this time of year.  It got pretty cold in the evening, but we had such a nice level spot that once we got warmed up, we had a really good night's sleep.  We woke at sun up and broke camp and made it over to the North Rim pretty early and didn't see much traffic.  We took the road to Imperial Point and then did the little hike to Cliff Spring and enjoyed the pullouts along the way and got to wish Juge a happy birthday from Roosevelt Point.  Then we continued on to Angel's Window and to Imperial Point.  Then it was time to head home.  We took the backway (after picking up more cookies at Jacob Lake) on road #22 and then home through Fredonia.  We continued to enjoyed the good book on the way home.  It was such a lovely time in a beautiful place.  We felt much revived!
