Nancy, my first wife, and I drove out to the Grand Canyon from Southern California to
see the Grand Canyon.
I've never been nor will be a `desert' person, and once you've seen it there's not a
whole lot to do or see unless you were to go down inside it. Which I imagine would be quite
an adventure.
What surprised us the most was that the next day we woke up to inches of snow on
the ground.
The snow at the `higher' elevations made it much
more interesting.
These pines show the wind swept conditions of the ridges.
They actually did tear down this `London Bridge' and move it
to the river. As if the Canyon weren't enough of a draw.
Left over from earlier times the windows have been added.
Indian culture is still pretty strong around the canyon.
On a clear day you can see a long ways.
Prologue
I'm sorry, but to me, unless you were down in the canyon, on the river bed, to me
the Grand Canyon is just a big hole in the ground in the middle of desert.
It was an interesting trip, and everyone should see it at least once in their lifetimes, I
just found that once was enough for my mountain tastes.
