I spent the day at the Grand Canyon have almost nothing to say about it. It’s just too amazing and vast to describe adequately. The whole time I was there, I was looking out and thought it looked more like a giant movie screen, something in 2D, than reality. It was just too much for my brain to process.

I’ve been to Yellowstone and to Crater Lake, and I don’t remember feeling the anxiety over the hugeness in front of me. Yeah, I was nervous, edgy whenever I looked out at the canyon. I think it’s unnerving to have to face your puniness.

And, my poor, weary dogs are barking after all of the hiking I did. The downside of not having a manservant available to meet my every need is the long, long walk back to retrieve my car. (The one I deserted early and spent the day walking further away from it.)

After strolling a long haul on the southern rim of the canyon (and a little way down into the basin), I decided to shortcut back away from the rim along the road through the surrounding forest. Apart from see a shitload of Ponderosa pine (just like “Bonanza”), I was rewarded by having a group of deer walk across the street right in front of me.

I’ll upload many pics from my puny, unworthy perspective when I have a decent Internet connection.
