Well today was all you could expect, we set off in my DUNWORKIN truck with Basil and Nola and headed up route 89 to the Grand Canyon at about 9:30 AM and it is an easy one hour drive.
The Grand Canyon is such a magnificant sight that no words can describe it nor can any photograph give expression to the scale of it so I will allow the photos to do the best they can.
