One day last summer, we were visiting the Grand Canyon. The weather was intermittent rain, but the views were spectacular. This view of the canyon is looking west from South Rim Drive between Grand Canyon Village and Desert View. Click on the image for the larger view.
Earlier in the day, we were in Sedona and drove up to the canyon through Flagstaff, where we got gas and did some shopping for sundries and ammunition at WAL*MART. The store in North Torrance has no ammo concession in their sporting goods section. We got several boxes of 100 Winchester 9mm rounds at a very reasonable price.
We stopped at several of the roadside vistas at the canyon, including Desert View, where the Watchtower is located. I stood next to the canyon to pose as Verna took this picture of me. It only looks like I’m on the edge of the cliff, but there was actually another ledge just below the rim. I have terrible vertigo and don’t normally like to stand next to a sheer cliff.

Later that day we drove out of the National Park to Cameron, where we spent that night before heading out to the four corners area the next day.
Ahhhh . . . the wanderlust. Sitting here at my desk, it’s all I can do to get myself back to work. Oh well, I’ve only got 1 year, 6 months, 14 Days and 3 Hours or so to go – but who’s counting?
