Becky Smith & Craig Manning are driving from LA to NYC via New Orleans this Christmas. Becky will be sending field notes & photos."We reached the Grand Canyon 30 minutes before dark. Temperature, 25 degrees. There had been a snowstorm 20 hours before.
"In the Grand Canyon, sunset is crisscrossed with contrails. My fingers are numb within seconds of jumping out of the truck, but I keep taking pictures of the contrails. When we get back in the truck, we promise ourselves that we will hike down into the Canyon in the next year. And I still have my big dream -raft trip down the Colorado"--B all images ©2012 Becky Jean Smith
