The Grand Canyon: Waiting for the the Go

Woke up to a much-improved weather forecast. Yesterday, the forecast was rain/snow. And I must say, it was actually mostly sunny not mostly cloudy. Doffed my jacket and gloves after about 30 minutes. And one can add 20 degrees to the temps down on the floor of the canyon at Phantom Ranch.
Killing time waiting for the shuttle bus to the South Kaibab Trail at the Yavapai Hotel gift shop. If this shop item is any indication, it looks like Mango Unchained and his fellow boors are getting ready to start selling off our national parks, as promised.
