Grand Canyon Maroon

In Grand-Canyon-Maroon-Bob Davis Podcast 1117 above all we’ll talk about letting go. That is to say sometimes you are forced to just go with the flow.

Goal Driven

Basically we live in a goal driven society.

Moving From Task To Task

Under those circumstances we move from task to task.

Even more we do so without question.

Sudden Need For Patience

So imagine the frustration when we’re confronted with a situation that requires patience.

Letting Go

Or further completely letting go.

Transform and Enlighten

When we do this all of the sudden we become open to experiences that can transform and enlighten.

Points On An Agenda

These days for many travel is a series of points on an agenda.

Once you complete one task you move to the next.

And so on.

Throw The Agenda Away

On the other hand if you throw the agenda away the flow brings sublime experiences.

Control

In fact I have to be shown this again and again by forces beyond my control.

Breakdown At Grand Canyon

And so it is in the Grand Canyon…

When you have a breakdown that requires patience to fix.

Full details in Grand-Canyon-Maroon-Bob Davis Podcast 1117.

Goal Driven

Altogether I am a goal driven…

Intensity

With an intensity to match.

Pause Challenge

So when confronted with a situation that requires me to pause…

It’s a challenge..

Grand Canyon Maroon

All in all I am grateful because I am marooned in the most beautiful place.

The Grand Canyon.

Time

Furthermore I have had ample time to take in as much as I want in this amazing place.

Nomads

Finally we nomads put our vehicles under tremendous stress.

Stress

We never seem to notice we put ourselves under stress in addition.

Stop

Every now and then the Universe says stop.

Certainly we may not want to stop.

However when we do…

Experience

An amazing experience often awaits.

Life Lessons

It’s analogous to life too.

For example how many times do we miss details or experiences because we’re ‘just too busy’.

Taught By Travel

In short another lesson travel teaches.

Grand Canyon Southwest Masterpiece

Firstly the Grand Canyon is a Southwest Masterpiece. Learn more in my podcast from the Desert View Campground in Grand-Canyon-Southwest-Masterpeice-Bob Davis Podcast 996.

Blowing Through It

Secondly I think far too many people blow through the Canyon on a one day junket.

Certainly if you only have one day that’s one thing.

Vast Experience

However the Grand Canyon is a vast experience.

And if the traveler can take their time with it, all the better.

Got Lucky

Above all I got lucky. I rolled up to a full campground and managed to get a two day reservation.

Paradise

As a result I was able to spend two nights that felt like a week in paradise.

500 Feet From My Campfire

For example can you imagine having the south rim of the Grand Canyon less than five hundred feet from your campfire?

Moreover this national park just turned one hundred in 2019.

But it was closed in 2020. So I rolled into a campground that’s been closed for about a year.

Desert View Watchtower

During my stay on the south rim I fell in love with the Desert View Watchtower.

Sunsets

In the same vein the gathering of visitors and campers every night for the sunsets was a great experience.

Returning To A Sense Of Nature and Optimism

Most importantly I think we all need time like this to return to a sense of nature and optimism.

For example there’s something about the rock, desert flora and fauna and the trails.

Sense Of Freedom

Meanwhile we’re not feeling the sense of freedom the Grand Canyon evokes, these days.

But we want to.

We need to.

Night Time Walk Through Live…And Some UFO’s

Learn more in my night time walk through the campground in Grand-Canyon-Southwest-Masterpeice-Bob Davis Podcast 996.

Come Alive

Similarly when you’re staying at the park for any length of time you come alive.

Different Vibe

Certainly you realize this is a different feeling from the vibe at the mall, doctors office, and especially in traffic.

To sum up it’s a special place.

Finally thanks to great camp hosts, and everyone working very hard to get the place open and ready for summer.

I’ll go back!
