Remember that when you leave this Earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received, only what you have given, a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage. -St. Francis of Assisi

Ring of Fire


Here is a link for some great photos of the eclipse


I did not see the eclipse
I was outside but did not look at the sun

I did not prepare ahead of time,
so I didn't have the correct glasses to look through

Some of the other workers in this park
were out staring at the sun and pointing.
I saw a few cars get off the highway
and park on the frontage road to view the sun.

The rangers were having a program up in the park
and providing the proper eye protection.
The employee shuttle was not going to that area of the park.

I did not want to drive the RV up there
(its around 20 miles to the top of the mesa)
and then down in the dark.
I don't like to drive in the dark
especially on a curvy mountain road.

There are more photos at these Facebook links:

I'm glad I found the blog listed above
through the Grand Canyon link on Facebook.

  3. So sorry you weren't able to see it first hand in such a beautiful area. Bummer that the shuttle wouldn't take you.
