Well another great trip this month.  Left Cornville
AZ on Teusday went to Lees Ferry on the Colorado River, then up to Jacobs Lake, AZ where we unloaded our Harley Trike and rode it to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, just about froze, then back to the bus loaded the trike and on to Bryce Cyn. Spent the night at Bryce Cyn Campground, very nice and bus friendly, rode the trike to Bryce Cyn, by the way woke up thursady morning to 22 degrees.  The old 8V-92 did not like that. I know I was dumb forgot to plug in the block heater because I had not figured on 22 degrees. Loaded the trike back up and went back to close to Zion Nation Park, unloaded again and rode to Zion then back to the  bus reloaded and headed to Lake Powell again, 2nd time this month. Looked around and then headed home to Cornville, AZ.  We came through Flagstaff late so instead of going on home just to get there at 9PM we pulled over south of Flagstaff and spent the night. Arived home Friday AM and put everything away.  The 1973 MCI 7 ran great, don't know what has happened to it the last couple of trips but it is really running great and am able to pass trucksand other RVs with ease.
Well last trip for two weeks and then will take the boat back to Lake Powell to get the outdrive fixed.  The boat is a 1976 with a OMC stringer drive and not very many people know how to work on them.
Many thanks to all who have helped me in the past and to all who have not been in your bus lately, just do it. After the next trip I will not be able to afford to take off till Jan 2010 and then will head to Quartzite for a week with the Jeep Rubicon.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for sharing the trip with us!  Please post a picture if you get a chance for those of us not so fortunate to be traveling at this time.    :D

Sounds like a lot of fun.  Put that bus to use.   ;D  ;D
