Summer Vacation Part 2

I wrote in another post we took a trip to Sedona, Arizona for our family summer vacation. While we were close, we decided to take a not so quick 4 hour road trip to the Grand Canyon West Rim.

On the drive, there we went through the Grapevine Mesa Joshua Tree Forrest. These trees are a members of the Yucca plant.

About ten more miles the Grand Canyon West Rim and Sky walk. Forrest fires in California and Arizona created some challenging and interesting shots.

Very pretty site to see. The Grand Canyon is a marvel at best. I can’t imagine how much water passed through to create such beauty.

August Road Trip

Last weekend we took a road trip to Paul’s Valley Oklahoma to meet some of Juanita’s family they had not seen in a while.

I went out before just sunrise with my camera to see what I could see. I found this cool old service station in downtown.

The front door was open. I didn’t see any “Keep Out” or “No Trespassing” signs. I couldn’t resist so, of course, I went inside.

I yelled “Hello, Anyone here!” but my echo was the only answer.

I didn’t hang around inside too long nor did I venture too far. I really wanted to go upstairs but decided I probably shouldn’t. It looks like they are attempting to restore the place. Its too nice to let it fall into ruins.

When I find places like this, I leave them exactly the way I find them too. The Monkey says it all.
