What a beautiful morning. It was a warm night but the morning air is refreshing. It's still dark as we don our sneakers for a morning walk. By the time we are all set to go the sun is beginning to light up the ridge on the opposite side of the canyon. It's so peaceful and quiet. The only other sign of life we see is a young deer in amongst the bushes. We walk for about 40 minutes on the road and through the bush paths and watch as the sun reveals more of itself a...

Every morning we are so enthusiastic, it's like it's the first day again. First today is the Fantastic Caverns. These are Limestone Caves on a very large scale . We decide to take the t...

We were all up early this morning, may be we were all keen to get on the road again or maybe it was the trains rattling past (where the train driver gets the idea from that 5 long horn blasts thrills the local area is beyond me) or the residents revving up their u beaut utes as they head to work.
