As an enhanced service to my faithful readers, I have added two new features to this journal: The Quote of the Week and The Photo of the Week. In this premiere edition I am offering two photos and two quotes.
Enjoy.
"Our mission here is to protect and preserve the erosional features in the park."
Ranger Nick, Zion National Park, 7/5/07
Ebenezer Bryce was a Mormon homesteader who lived at the mouth of Paria Creek near present-day Tropic, UT, about 1875. He is the namesake for Bryce Canyon, and his farm backed up to what is now called Bryce Canyon. When asked what it is like to live at the edge of such an remarkable canyon, he replied:
"It's a hell of a place to lose a cow"
