Isn't that a paradox - worrying about too much water in a desert type area? But I understand. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do till I saw two other people successfully make it across. In this particular situation, there were thunderstorms the night before; but it was a bright sunny morning when I started the hike and so I thought nothing about it being the Easterner that I am.Tim Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305530681191503858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18014050.post-1159186722857714022006-09-25T07:18:00.000-05:002006-09-25T07:18:00.000-05:00It always felt kind of ironic that the thing that ...It always felt kind of ironic that the thing that worries me most when hiking in the desert canyon lands is water. Many times I've been hiking canyons and have had to fjord streams that weren't there on my way in or had to sit and wait for an hour for them to go down enough to get back across.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18014050.post-1159133817241163662006-09-24T16:36:00.000-05:002006-09-24T16:36:00.000-05:00Amazing pictures.Amazing pictures.Murfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859630977737647681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18014050.post-1159129599408563552006-09-24T15:26:00.000-05:002006-09-24T15:26:00.000-05:00Looks like a place i would LOVE!!! :)Looks like a place i would LOVE!!! :)Merilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01011958859266171548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18014050.post-1159126616209438092006-09-24T14:36:00.000-05:002006-09-24T14:36:00.000-05:00Hi, ava.

And so God does do all things well!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, daniele marioli. The spectacularness of nature never ceases to amaze me. I love hiking and if I can travel from time to time so much more the better.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, edulabbe. We do have some impressive landscapes in the States; but from my limited knowledge of the geography of your country, you, too, must have spectacular landscapes in Chile.<BR/><BR/>Hi, carmel. If you get the chance, do go and see it for yourself. It is well worth it!<BR/><BR/>Hi, jazzy. Glad you enjoyed the photos. So many photos I see of different parts of the world make me want to visit sometime though most places I probably never will. I am grateful for the places I have been privileged to see both near and far.<BR/><BR/>Hi, naturegirl. Santa Elena and Rio Grande are majestic, awe-inspiring. Nature's designer must be unspeakably awesome.<BR/><BR/>Hi, lynn. One takes vacation photos for one's memories. If they are not perfect, that is not necessarily bad. They can still bring back the feel of the place and the good times we had there.<BR/><BR/>Hi, kevin stilley. It was fun looking at your pictures of Santa Elena Canyon. Have you ever canoed, kayaked, or rafted on the Rio Grande in the Santa Elena Canyon? It sounds like it could be a wonderfully fun and aesthetically pleasing thing to do.Tim Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305530681191503858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18014050.post-1159124228863013922006-09-24T13:57:00.000-05:002006-09-24T13:57:00.000-05:00Hi Tim, we loved the Santa Elena canyon and came c...Hi Tim, we loved the Santa Elena canyon and came close to naming our daughter Elena as a result.
