Grand Canyon: stuck in a rut

I have a preposterous number of pictures of the Grand Canyon, and I think you should see them all. Look away while I park you all in and start the projector.

"Clint" and "Handel"

If you know them by other names, just play along for now. Everyone is entitled to a nom de canard.

These are our very good friends from New York who tracked us down in the forest and brought us cat litter. It's a good friend indeed who can sense when you're running low.

Julie Handel is my better self, without ever making me feel like my lesser self. She is my role model for building a life outside the box.

Clint's first time at the Canyon

Clint is from New Zealand. He likes to practice Americanisms, and has a good ear for accents.

I appreciate your condor. Please carrion.

It's the right-hand side of the photo.

Bright Angel Trail snakes from the lower right corner until it drops out of sight at the end of the plateau in the first quadrant.

Desert View Watchtower. It's a Mary E. Jane Colter design, like several buildings in the Grand Canyon area.

Very involved in gravity studies.

We're on a rock. We're on an island.
