So true. Usually I note spelling errors, and this didn't seem quite what I remembered, but I suppose I must have been thinking more about the scallops than about the name. As to north/south rim, I usually refer any questions about recollections to the DH, whose memory and power of observation exceed mine.

I forgot to ask him to confirm direction. (Grand Canyon, that describes it closely enough in my memory.
