On the East Rim Drive, Grand Canyon

We had made it a practice for three days to drive out on the East Rim Drive to about here to have our breakfast. This morning was our last morning to do so as we headed out for the 200 mile loop around to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Brenda, Jeff and Mark have a nice viewpoint out on a big rock overlooking the eastern part of the Canyon. August 8, 1982.
