When D learned that Grandma and Grandpa had not been to the Grand Canyon on a clear day, he checked the weather to see what it was going to be like at the Canyon the next day. When it saw a clear forecast, plans were made to head over to the Grand Canyon for the day. The weather was crisp and clear in the morning.

A couple of the Marines had not taken their vehicles off-road at all, so they were eager to test out the vehicles and their skills. On Saturday, we met up at in a parking lot, and the more experienced off-road guys helped the others check tire pressure and air down the tires as needed before we headed out. Because this was the first time out for some, a trail…
