His family are all gun happy and the wild life world wide suffers for it.<br /><br />As for the canyon, it is the most amazing place and Gaelyn and Bill went to so much trouble to show us all the special places. If things change add it to your bucket list it is so well worth the trip.<br /><br />Take care, cheers DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782670749466305626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-28830717570920450572017-01-19T21:33:06.171+01:002017-01-19T21:33:06.171+01:00Marjie we were so spoilt by Gaelyn and Bill and we...Marjie we were so spoilt by Gaelyn and Bill and we saw much more than if we had visited without them.

However, I will not go to USA whilst the gun laws are so liberal, and I don't see this changing anytime soon with a man that I consider to be a danger to the planet about to take the helm of the country. What a pity!<br /><br />I can only hope that I'm proven to be wrong!<br /><br />Take good care.
