"Fire Point on the North Grand Canyon Rim."
We'll have to check that out sometime. So many places, so little time!

I know the feeling. This one is really worth the effort. Not only is it spectacular, we did not see a single person the drive in nor the drive out.

Next year she wants to find a good spot that takes a couple days by 4x4 to get to and set up a base camp to launch a multi-day backpacking trip.
And she is already excited for the following year's Alaska trip.
Yeah, she's a keeper.
My son is asking when we will stay in the "Green Hotel" (our tent is green) again.

I'm just excited that wife now likes camping. Somehow I need to make the 4x4 stuff fun for her.

My wife is only ok with the 4x4 stuff. She loves what I call adventuring.

It's rare that I can get my GF to go wheeling and you can forget camping altogether. Her idea of camping is room service.
