Please tell me alittle about the park. I plan on taking my family there next June. I'll take three weeks off work, tow a camper and see the country. The Grand Canyon will be the central focus of our plans, so any advice is helpfull.

If you are going to be pulling a camper I dont recomend Tioga pass. It is VERY STEEP, Im talking 2nd. gear 30 mph floored! The weather in June will be on the chilly side.

Rascal just got pulled over! His first speeding ticket. And to think he just recieved his learners permit.

Just another blessing from my lord and savior Jesus Crist . I bought the car from the Salvation Army in San Diego. The lord is GOOD!.

Likely for the same reason I have a 50lb sack of kitty litter in my garage (Seems like half that under my car), to collect oil before it reaches the pavement.
