look... Welcome to the world of a whole load of fun! North rim is on my list. Done south. Keep us posted as to your travels...learn how to post images here they are well liked and fill in the blanks to the point that no words are needed.
One thing I love about the TC travel is when ever I want to nap or a cup of tea or just sit and read beside the lake...you stop and do it!!! I like to travel thru the night when headed out and need to get some miles racked up...so I drive for 3 to 5 hours take a nap for 30 mins to 2 hours , then go again for a good number of hours and repeat...pretty soon the sun is coming up and that is fantastic sight! Of course I have added fantastic driving lights and aimed them in such away that I hardly ever get flashed in the open spaces of the west.
Enjoy your new to you TC and keep the reports coming. :>)
