More big-rig boondocking at the North Rim


View Boondocking North Rim 3 in a larger map

No time for words - we have internet and 3G! Here's another great spot for big rigs (and small) to park near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This is probably the quietest spot we have ever camped. 

We're in Utah tonight, waiting for some repairs to happen tomorrow. Which means we get to explore Kenab tomorrow, and the Internet tonight! We did get a little antsy amid all the grandeur of the North Rim, wanting to see what was happening on Facebook. Yes, it's very high; I'm losing track of Twitter.

If you were tracking our dwindling groceries, let me assure you we won't have to eat beans tomorrow. We may choose to eat beans.

 I will keep posting dispersed camping sites until my supply is exhausted. If you happen to know of any good boondocking around Kenab that isn't in a service station parking lot, I'd be grateful. Not grateful that you know - grateful that you're about to share.

Camp for free at the North Rim, Grand Canyon.

Our time has come. To leave the North Rim, I mean. This place is crazy-special, and I hope you'll make a way to visit.

We'd stay longer and like it, but we're running out of groceries and we haven't juiced in a week. Every day's question is what kind of beans today? Annie told me this morning that some beans are more discomfort-inducing than others, but that may be something for you to Google. Teaser: pinto beans are your tiny friends.

We have an appointment for some Duck work in Utah on Thursday. Please send low-$$$ vibes. Or, send $$$.

The meadow we're camped in has been great. We're outstanding in our field every day. It's an excellent site for solar power, and I'll give you the location later. For sheer density of cool places to pull in, I'd choose 611, but 22 is a main-ish road, and you'll find plenty all along it, too. The sites I list are all on good roads, places we'd be willing to take the Duck.

More tales from the North Rim, Grand Canyon

I don't really have tales. I have pictures. I'll make up stories for you as I go.

Sorry, hawk. I just can't stop laughing at you. That pose is ridiculous. You look just like a AAAACCKKK MY EYES!!!

Back at the General Store for wifi. The crowd got unruly and suspicious when I began uploading photos, and I didn't appreciate the latte to the head. I'll save them for another time when they won't be so appropriate. 

I think I may have mentioned? There are laundry facilities and showers here in the park. You can eat a meal at the Lodge while sitting on, and I mean ON the rim. We haven't tried that, although we've eaten food on the rim, so is there a difference? Only in the financial sense.

The altitude sickness seems gone. Thanks for the suggestions and timeline - they all helped. Boy, am I hydrated!
