After leaving the furnace called St. George, we dropped down into Arizona and ended up on the Kaibab Plateau north of the Grand Canyon. We found a great spot in the Ponderosas to setup a camp that served us well for 10 days. Mornings were cool (34 degrees), with afternoons hitting 75. Perfect. 
We day tripped to the Grand Canyon. Had a good breakfast in the the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim. Awesome views. Impressive log beams on the inside of the lodge as well. 
In the National Forest outside the park, we came across this small Buffalo herd. Evidently they're part of a herd that's usually found much lower down, off the plateau. I figure they were up escaping the heat, just like us.
Found out what a slack line is. Joanie and I set one up at camp between the trees. Sure beats a hammock! Ratchet on one end of the line allows it to be tensioned as desired. This one started out waist high before my 200 lbs. got on it. It'll activate every balancing muscle you've got, trust me. One day I hope to drop the poles!
