I'm just amazed that you could get a reservation at all. I have been there several times but just for the day because when I look for reservations, they seem to book up almost entirely at the first of the year and I rarely know that far ahead what I am going to be available for later in the year when they open. Loved the shot.

next time try booking a cabin at the Kaibab Lodge its 18 miles from the North Rim. the cabins sleep from 2 too 10 people;prices range from $90.00 on up;and has a res.with good home cooked meals wildlife all over the place an there is a store and a gas station right across the street. Jacob lake is about 50 miles away and is the only other lodge o/s the North Rim.Look it up on the internet its a great place to stay and very quiet and pretty.There is also a camp ground next to it with about 20 sites I think it was $15.00 or $20.00 a night to stay there.

As a side note, in 1943 (?), a B-25 crashed into the Empire State building in the fog.
the empire state building was built diff.from what I have read it was build in a steel box formation and was a lot stronger than the W/T center building. When I say a steel box formation my understanding is that each floor are interlocking boxes welded or bolted together offsetting each other.There was very mim.damage done when the B25 hit it. If anyone knows if this is true please verity this for me;or let me know if I am totally wrong.
For years I have collected signs and posters and different jokes here are a few That I hope put a smile on your face.
today I was looking at some old pictures and remembering friends who have passed on.One of those friends was a really good artist and he used to draw all the posters for the parties we had. Back in the 70s an 80s there was a group of 25 that used to do a lot of things together; we had a bowling team;pool team;softball team; we always had something going on.Here are a few of the posters he drew. IT has been 30 plus years since I stoped drinking but I still have some of my drinking mugs here are a few.

Thnx for the pic .., I’m taking the whole month of Sept to visit Tahoe ..SF .,Yosemite ..Oregon.. and Seattle .. I need most of this smoke gone ...!
they opened Yosemite to the public today and said that there is no damage other than smoke inside the park.
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is only about a 2 hour drive from Las Vegas.If you go there Kaibab Lodge is a nice place to stay it is 18 miles from the North rim and has a rest, that serves good home cooked meals and there is a gas station rt across the street. Prices for a cabin run from $90.00 0n up. Hover Dam;Lake Powell and Horseshore Bend are also close.Rainbow Bridge and Monument Valley are also within a 4 hour drive. I hope you have a Great trip.
