Hump Day!

Greetings from the Hualapai Reservation!!
    "Hey mikemikemikemikemikemike! Guess what day it is? Awe come on, I know you can hear me..."
     Wednesday was hump day! We needed a day off and we took off from our many hours
of work to have our new found friend, Walt from the Hualapai Tribe who came as our angel from God to help us with the electrical work. He took us to many sites on the Hualapai Reservation! Our first stop was the Hualapai Canyon! Wow was this breath taking!! There is no way to get to the bottom of the canyon except by mule or horse! (I wonder if we had a camel, he could make it down the canyon on hump day???
Well, in the photo where it the horses coming up from the canyon, they were delivering mail at the bottom of the canyon!

 

 

 See the mail bins on the back of the horse? We met some guys from Minnesota who were going down the canyon and were going to sleep down there and come back the next day. Met a couple from Moldova, and they took our group pictures and we took theirs.

 

We then went to the Hualapai caverns but didn't go on the tour. But got to see the firetruck from the movie, "Cars." And some trivia, where we are staying, "Peach Springs" is where they took the theme "Radiator Springs" and sites for the movie "Cars."

 We then went to Seligman to eat lunch at the Road Kill Cafe. There were sites outside the cafe to take photos. This one of Austin, and I before him, hopped in this old car, but there was a cactus inside. We both got cactus needles in our leg and butts. Mel was pulling them out of me. Just when you think you got them all, more would stick you again!! There was a lot of road kill inside. I'm trying to upload some but the internet is sooo slow! We have soooo many photos to share though!!

 
Then Walt took us on the highlight of hump day!! We drove down into the Grand Canyon on the Hualapai Reservation and got to enjoy the Colorado River!! Will tried some fishing, but Pat Piel brought his swim suit and he got to "swim" in the Colorado River! The road we had to travel to get down there was unbelievable!! Some of us just sat by the river and just enjoyed God's creation and just soaked in all the beauty.

 

 The group photo was taken by the Colorado River!.
   WE got back to the church in time for the Wednesday night service. Then today, Thursday, it is back to work!! Tuesday, the Boss (Fran) had the guys working from 7 am to 11pm. Some of the guys fell asleep in the van on hump day!

 This is Walt navigating through the road to the bottom of the canyon as Fran, drove (?) the van over rocks, and sand and ruts and even through streams of water!

Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth." Thank you LORD for Your beautiful creation here in Arizona!

 

 

I wish I could show more photos and the tremendous progress the men have made! I will try to post more Saturday before we depart the red eye back home!!

Thank you for your prayers and your interest!
