LA-NO-NYC, #2 (Morning, Grand Canyon)

Further field notes from Becky Smith, on the road in a 2003 Toyota Tacoma, from LA to NYC via New Orleans:

"The first night, I go to bed at 8pm - and I don't get up until 6:40 the next morning. We go back to the rim of the canyon, and it's a beautiful morning. Fourteen degrees fahrenhett, but no wind.

"Day Two is a spectacular drive along the south side of the canyon, heading east.  We turn south and at Flagstaff catch I-40, going east.  Today while driving I listen to Craig's mix tape - but there's too much country, and I pronounce harsh judgement on many tunes, skipping around to find Amos Lee, Muddy Waters, and other musicians who bring me joy.  We finally settle on Bob Dylan - and I sing along for four hours, until we reach Santa Fe."--B
