A True Wonder.....

The one really good thing about driving from Knoxville, Tennessee to Las Vegas, Nevada (okay, maybe the ONLY really good thing) is the ability to hang a right for about an hour and view the Grand Canyon! :) Wow. What a beautiful, beautiful sight. It's far more than just a "big crack in the earth." My son, who has no fondness for heights, didn't like standing at the edge (despite the railings to prevent accidents) like I was doing to click off some shots. They say that due to changing weather conditions and the change in lighting, the views can change from hour to hour. I believe it. I would love to see the sun rise and the sun set at the Canyon. I would love to hike to the bottom and lie down flat, looking up at the sky and the canyon walls. I'd love to raft the Colorado for a solid week, sleeping in tents and cooking by open fire. And when I do these things, I want to get there by flying! :)
