Arizona - Day 3

What's the deal with all of this Arizona rain? Everywhere we have been (first Phoenix and now the Grand Canyon) we have been followed by heavy rain and lightening. It is a total bummer. Much of the scenery that we expected to see has been obscured by clouds and rain.

Though the rain has definitely been a bit annoying we were still able to see a few neat sites today. Our first stop was Montezuma's Castle, a cave-dwelling/castle. Eventually we also made our way through Jerome and Prescott and then up to the Grand Canyon, where we will be spending the night.

In the morning we are scheduled to go on a 3 hour mule ride. Hopefully this experienced isn't damped by more rain, that would be a real bummer. I don't think mules and rain really mix, and it would also likely mean that our view of the Grand Canyon would be obscured, thus undermining much of the justification for this trip north.

We will soon be heading back to our room and out of the lodge, so I will be internet free for a while. This state of affairs probably isn't actually so bad, though I might be nicing out from time to time.
