I too was disappointed by the amount of pollution in the GC. I wonder if it is true that some of it comes all the way from China, as we were told?
The GC can be a very spiritual experience don't you think? One first seeing it, I just stood there for a few minutes, with tears running down my face. "Grand" is such an understatement.
LOLOL Our little group of 4, we agreed at the beginning of the day, that we weren't allowed to say the word "Awesome" all day. You will fully understand how difficult a task that was. |
Yes jjjnettie,
There has been a lot of "awesome" and "spritual" experiences in this country. My best day is still the drive up the hwy 550 between Durango and Ouray. I am going to do this agian, but drive it all the way to Green River and back.
The pollution, apparently, comes from a coal fired power station from within the US, not China. At least, that is my understanding.
And, as for "awesome", what other superlative is there?
Well, today I am off to pick up a rental and drive up to Mt Palomar and go to OPT to pick up my new scope.
Cheers Peter
