The Grand Canyon

I swear it was only a few days ago that I was rooting around in my Thule storage and noticed the unopened box of hand warmers and thought, “Well that was a waste of money.” Now on my fourth day of 30 degree weather, I am so glad I have those. I have gone through 5 pairs already and it’s amazing how much those little guys can help when your fingers feel like they are beyond saving.

Once again, it’s something you have to see in your life because no matter how many pictures I may take, it is just not the same as sitting on a ledge overlooking the canyon while the clouds roll through in the distance. It is still bitterly cold but I could sit, stare and marvel at the grandeur for hours…that is if Franklin would let me.

Rain won’t get us down!

The rain was pouring all night and this morning so I decided to take a short break and travel into Flagstaff to catch up and plan the next leg of my travels. Thank you Starbucks for the free wifi!

Heading north to Utah tomorrow!

    Love all your pictures, especially Yosemite…you’re totally right in saying that pictures will never truly express the grand beauty of these places. When I was in Yosemite years ago I just remember looking back at my pictures and thinking, this looks so small, this was so much bigger and grander. If your trip takes you through NC we’ll be moving to Wilmington at the end of June so come by for a visit. 🙂
