Hi! We are now at Jacob's Lake – 45 miles from North Rim. There is SNOW up here! Dad will remember passing thru this bridge! I look forward to it w/downhill behind us! Love, Roberta

Hi! Should we go ahead & make reservations for May 95!? We did not get near the water – very muddy! It's cold here – but nothing like it was in MARCH! Love, Roberta
