Tally ho!

Today we set off around noon to head to Jacob Lake, near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We didn't have classes as it is "Fall Break". Pete and Joe drove Pete's car...it's a hybrid so it's not only wicked cool with the new features (aka it's a new car), it also uses less gas. The car is eerily quiet when it switches to electronic mode, like when stopped at a traffic light. We had a rather uneventful trip down but it was an enjoyable, though long, drive durin which we chatted quite a bit and listened to some good music. Jacob Lake is basically a small gas station with attached gift shop/diner and a couple inn buildings. It's a small, quaint place. The stars were brilliant tonight and we regret not stopping when we were in more open country as it is difficult to see the stars through the trees around Jacob Lake.
