Ok, this will take some practice. This blog format doesnt like the droid 1st 3 days I have ridden 140 miles (days 1 & 2, 70 day 3). Thank god for hot showers @ the campgrounds. Flights and travel down were super easy. Bike went together like clockwork. So I needed a reality check (I guess). 2 flat tires on day one... kevlar anti-puncture strips = bad idea!
WOW! Pretty A M A Z I N G!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture Carl!!
ReplyDeleteOh just a quick note from Lisa at Kellies. She's staying on with the new owners doing the cooking. And she as well as I wish you a Happy Holidays!!
D, yeah the exposed rock around here is incredible, any roadcut can potentially show pre-human history.
ReplyDeleteAmy, Happy Holidays right back atcha, and to the rest of the crew too. Tell Lisa I was looking forward to hearing her first CD, but am selfishly glad that she'll maintain the creemee quality.
Now I've got the itch to make that Grand Canyou/Yellowstone trip I never made. Don't know if I'll do it by bicycle (maybe a Vespa is more my speed), but never say never. Anyway, love the pictures. I'm always amazed at the art of what time and miniscule changes together can create. Literally awe-inspiring! It's hard to conceive that the land beneath us is constantly moving- despite our attempts to control it. Thanks for letting us see this through your eyes.
ReplyDeleteAnd the thing that amazes me when looking at sedimentary rock like this is that each layer is a specific interval of time. Often a layer might be ocean sediments layed down over a thousand years. But in some sedimentary rocks, very thin layers can be remnants of a single storm event. Pre human history, staring us in the face. Yeah, and it is beautiful too! Don't take your Vespa down the North Rim trial!
