Day 271, Turn down the heat, let it rain



A darned fool dangling above a great drop.

Visions of mortality and a good deal more of mist.

As a respite from the intolerable heat we can see Matlock Bath here melting in the rain.

With any luck that should remind us all that no matter how hot it is there's always an opportunity to go camping and bring on torrential rain.

So think on, it's nicer to have a little warmth.

Did I call this Matlock Bath?  Nonsense, it's the Grand Canyon, as should be clear to anyone.

This view is taken from the dangly cable they've recently fired across the canyon by rocket.  Tourists, and general idiots, can climb across using the power of their hands.

Great innit.

Or you can float across in a sort of glass-container ovular type vehicle, which gives an unrealistic impression of safety.

Just down the road from here, around the corner, and along the Interstate for about 1051.9 miles, is Mount Rushmore.  If you squint you'll see it, or would be able to see it if it wasn't so darned hooten-tooten misty y'all.

That's probably how they talk in Colorado.



So there we have it, the weather.  Unpredictable isn't it, but don't say that to the met-office, ok?
