I woke this morning to bright sunny skies and decided to make the move before the rains came again. I packed up and drove back to Flagstaff for a quick dump at the Giant station and food at the Walmart, then headed back up 180 to get closer to the Grand Canyon. <\/p>\n

Rt. 180 was a nice road with little traffic. It passes through pretty forests of the Kaibab and Coconino with many options for dispersed camping. I have to be kind of picky and choose my forests roads carefully as many of them are rutted and soft from all the rain.<\/p>\n

I stopped at a pay campground on 64 called 10 X just to check it out. The spots were tight to get into and not very level. There were still quite a few people there, presumably left from the weekend. I was mainly looking for a dump station and water for when I come out, but they had neither.<\/p>\n

As I entered the town of Tusayan, just a few miles from Grand Canyon National Park, a sign announced a forest road to the right. Only a mile up the road I came to several open campsites. I parked Minnie and walked around until I determined the best one and staked my claim. I have good cell signal and quite a lot of holes to the sky. The main drawback to this place is that it is in the sightseeing, helicopter flight path for the Canyon. There is a constant stream of helicopters that buzz 100 feet above my head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
