I should love to walk this entire plateau valley. There is nothing like a great wilderness with a tremendous backdrop. So good for the soul. The wonderful light adds great power whether one has a religion or not. With all the tremendous images I have recently seen, I begin to image how great I will feel when I one day arrive.
