Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - KOA Campground Flagstaff, Arizona

Today we drove to the Grand Canyon from the KOA. We went to the backcountry permit office, Mather Point and took the shuttle bus to Hermit's Rest. The trailhead for Bob's hike starts there. We checked the cell phone and there is no coverage at the Grand Canyon. When we set up camp there, we will be out of touch and will not be able to update the website.  We will stay at the KOA tonight and drive to the GC tomorrow for another day trip and return to the KOA.
