Roby and Patti's Radical Sabbatical

Roby and I have decided to live "lightly". Come along for the journey through our trials and tribulations. This blog is posted with the most current adventure first. So, scroll to the bottom if you want to start from the beginning. Each entry has a continuous slideshow of photos for your viewing pleasure. If you double click on the photos it will take you to our photo web page and you are able to see enlarged versions. We welcome comments and any building tricks.

The little crack in the wall

The story goes: a 12 year old Navajo girl was herding her sheep and came upon a hole in the mountain and guess what she discovered. When you see the pictures you would never know what was hidden behind the wall. Words cannot describe it and the pictures only tell half the story. This place is somewhere everyone should put on their Bucket List. The little girl grew up to become a lady who has the monopoly on the guided tours through the Canyon. Capitalism at its best. The walls go up at least 100 feet and several floods have affected not only the canyon but in 1977 over 11 people drowned. The water hit the top of the canyon wall. Our guide gave us some tips on how to photograph the slot canyon so Roby pretended to be the great photographer-Peter Lik. How much would you pay for his photos??

Was definitely worth the detour
