Yeah. He just can't get enough of this place... Not bad for an iPhone picture!
This time we went to iMAX just outside of the National Park and watched their video. It was good. Not enough history or facts, but that's not what folks go to an iMAX for, huh? But on the wall in the lobby we discovered some interesting facts:
Turn-of-the-century North Rim (most folks go to the south rim) Forest Service warden, "Uncle Jimmy" Owens, killed a whopping 543 mountain lions during his 12 years of "game management." By 1930 the North Rim death toll for predators stood at a staggering 781 lions, 554 bobcats and 4,889 coyotes!
I just think it would be soooo fantastic to raft this baby! I keep trying to talk our 20-year-old grandkids into being river guides this summer, but I guess I would have to join them to make it happen. What is with these kids nowadays?? No sense of adventure.
