One day, for whatever reason, you'll wake and realize that the 'last time' was the last time ever. Each one of these trips is an enduring treasure.<br /><br />BTW, I never had any real interest in visiting the Grand Canyon, but these photos are making me think again!

It has many of the capabilities of a DSLR in a point-and-shoot package, although there are removable lenses. <br /><br />And thanks for the comments. I do appreciate hearing from others in this increasingly fragmented Web landscape. Even though this is a personal blog that I keep for my own selfish reasons, I do enjoy hearing from others.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-83664426515343771322011-10-14T21:32:18.388-06:002011-10-14T21:32:18.388-06:00Jill,

It's been captivating and you are a great Writer/Journalist. It's been interesting to read your impressions of the area as a newcomer since I've lived here all my life. I think you'll be surprised to know that is does snow in the Santa Cruz mnts. and there has actually been years when it had snowed 5-6 times with up to 1 ft of snow. Keep up the great writing and picture taking on here, Cheers, Tom CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-15299467724656903142011-10-14T04:36:45.028-06:002011-10-14T04:36:45.028-06:00I have been away on a four day work trip.

Have been one of those people who read everything and not comment for at least two years now. Anyway, please don't stop blogging, the silent mass of readers are there just not saying anything. If we have nothing interesting to say, better to say nothing is my take on it. I'm sure loads of us have bought the books though (i have and i loved the latest one) and we do appreciate the blog. <br /><br />Thanks, <br /><br />Si.TrailMonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11662245642984470773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-36166839057965336342011-10-13T22:48:12.853-06:002011-10-13T22:48:12.853-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nicholas Jarretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13133372306069005135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-71279848471067809882011-10-13T20:41:48.996-06:002011-10-13T20:41:48.996-06:00Awesome post!

I miss that place.<br /><br />My feet have never hurt as badly as the second time I did a R2R2R, with less than ideal prep.

The GC is SUCH an amazing place...and it's diff in every season. I've never yet even made it down to the river, letaone a R2R (it's on my 'list', along with doing the whitewater raft trip down the Colo river). That you did this AND pacing Danni for a measly 50 miles (ON FOOT!) is just off the charts huge. You're an amazing athlete to be able to just whip this stuff out. As always, thanks for taking us along! Hope you kick that nasty headcold soon (not that it seems to have slowed you down any).MattChttp://inane-asylum2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-81419180971165777512011-10-13T02:22:21.145-06:002011-10-13T02:22:21.145-06:00Beautiful pictures!
