Thanks again guys -

The north rim is planned already for next fall on a road trip up to UT.

I have mixed feelings about LV too.

Thanks for the tip with the lodges on the South Rim. Is the South Rim largely weather dependent?

I will come prepared to weather a storm with food, sleeping bags and water. I will also check in with friends on a regular basis.

Not well equipped on the GPS side - may be a good investment for this trip.
