The Monkey Wrench Gang
“They woke up late and had breakfast in bed.
Birds singing, sunshine, et cetera. Afterwards she said, “Now I want something to eat.”
He took her to North Rim Lodge for brunch. They had orange juice, pecan waffles, fried eggs sunny side up, hash-brown potatoes, ham, toast, milk, coffee and Irish coffee and a sprig of parsley each. All marvelous. He led her out on the terrace of the lodge and showed her the high rim view of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
“Neat,” she said.
“See one Grand Canyon ...you’ve seen ’em all,” he agreed. He took her to Cape Royal, Point Imperial and finally to Point Sublime, where they camped illegally the second night. As the sun sank legally (in the west) they gazed down six thousand vertical feet, into the yawning abyss.
“That abyss is yawning at me,” Hayduke observed.
“I’m sleepy,” she said.
“Christ, it’s only sundown. What’s the matter with you?”
“I don’t know. Let’s take a nap before we go to bed.”
