Not just a regular canyon…
But Grand! Waiting for my pictures to sync to my iPad. But I can still write. I’m a wee bit of a science nerd. And including geology. So a rock nerd. I’ve been anticipating my visit to the canyon for a while. I’ve watched a documentary on the geology of the canyon, and the theories Continue reading
