I may be picking your brain, though, closer to the time of my departure.Lily Whalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794982719681805044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-64499979534126945242014-09-09T13:18:30.525-07:002014-09-09T13:18:30.525-07:00Hi Susan,

I've been there too and would like to revisit it as an adult. Grand is definitely a fitting word for it. All the best to you - keep on making those dreams come true! <br />Pam Mytroenfudge4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295705620837466292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-64629596637066365292014-09-02T08:05:51.156-07:002014-09-02T08:05:51.156-07:00I have yet to ponder finding an agent--I need to w...I have yet to ponder finding an agent--I need to write more first. However, I'm thinking that finding an agent is kind of like finding your way through the Grand Canyon, but maybe I'm wrong because I just don't know.<br /><br />I've been to the Grand Canyon--immense and vast. I think you could easily spend a year there just meandering down to its depths and getting a feel for what life is really like. I didn't have "writer's eyes" when I went but you will--so soak it all in and enjoy God's creation. <br /><br />Connie Mae Inglishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988103819012472275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-14857840906501817132014-08-31T07:06:54.844-07:002014-08-31T07:06:54.844-07:00Love your exuberant year!

One thing I remember clearly is the spots where persistent plants insist on growing in the crags, rooted in nothing but dust that's blown in over the years.<br /><br />Another fun surprise is the occasional lizard that unexpectedly wanders across your path. Saw a few about 6" long. <br /><br />The new area where the Skywalk is located is being developed by the Native tribes who have come together and hired professionals to do the job. Most areas weren't bound by safety railings, so we were able to go right to the edges. Some people marched right up and put their toes over the edge of a rock. (That was my husband.) Others stayed back 50'. (Like my brother.) I saw a few couples where one would try to pull the other forward to look, and the second person was struggling to get away. Some people are terrified just knowing that drop is there. That could add an interesting element to a story. <br /><br />I have photos. If you want me to send some, let me know.

I hope this plan works out for you and you find the details you need to flesh out your novel.

It gives you a good feel of what your character's senses should be experiencing. I hope you get to visit the Grand Canyon!
