Just when I thought I was out I was in…California!



Perhaps I am looking at this matter in the incorrect direction…Perhaps a just long road?

For those of you that have a wild side, this may not be the road for you!

Do not be fooled!  From Williams, AZ to the South Rim is not a 10 minute distance!  Get fuel!  Get coffee!  Get ready!

Get a pre-paid pass it you can…there are several places to obtain them upon the way…saves you time for sure!

The Grand Canyon is One Canyon but has Two Rims.  The South Rim and the North Rim are just 10 miles apart as a raven files but 215 miles by road.  The South Rim elevation is 7,000 ft with tempaeratures in the 50s – 80s in the summer and 20s – 50s in the winter.

I am at the South Rim

About now you may be wondering…”Jock just how far is it to Ireland?”  Well check it out!

It appears to be 6,080 miles!  By the end of this trip I could have almost gone there if there was road!
