DAYS 9-19- CATCHING UP- GRAND CANYON TO SALT LAKE CITY-added Zion

I am so hopelessly behind on the day by day blog, that I am going to write one blog for catch up, separating out the days. 

Both Philip and I have been sick with laryngitis, so have missed out on many activities. In addition, our Aero "lost its' Master and Slave Clutch cylinders in Page, AZ so spent some time finding parts (MMC via Linda Eckler), mechanics (Chris and Rueben at Bavarian Werkstatte in Washington, U), and loan of their car from ex neighbors Wayne and Joan who recently moved to St. George, UT.

AAA from PAGE TO WASHINGTON

Additionally, Grant and Helen's Aero developed an overheating problem that kept them behind seeking repairs in Page, as well as in Washington, UT at Fuzion Auto Works.  They didn't have to be towed, although perhaps they should have done so.

Philip and I and Grant and Helen finally caught up with the group on Saturday in Moab, although we did manage to spend time with the group in Bryce.

On DAY 9, we went to the Grand Canyon, which we visited and some took tours, as well as  celebrated Philip's Birthday, Dick's Birthday, Helen and Grants Anniversary.

DAY 10-  Grand Canyon to Page, AZ. Christian's Morgan was having a starter problem so they went back to Flagstaff for repairs. It turned out to be a relay, but he continues to have problems and needs to keep replacing relays.
