      I did that with my mom and the helicopter had glass doors so each of us had one side of our bodies that seemed open to below. It was so crazy scary, Beautiful and Exciting, all at the same time.

    That was crazy how many cars were in that line and people standing in line! I would have left too! I think what happens is you feel peaceful spending so much time in nature and just with Joey that you realize how busy and stimulating the world is now. SO its actually a cool thing that you are feeling that. You have created a peaceful life for yourself! And as always if Joey doesn't put a smile on someone's face there is something seriously wrong! Love how you started the video just panning to him in the car! Love and blessings and His protection over you both!

    Seeing the Grand Canyon is on my bucket list of places to travel. It's so gorgeous. I am only 8 hours away and I can't believe I haven't been there in my lifetime (I'm 56). Thank you for showing us the gorgeous scenery. If you were there the day before Easter, that was probably spring break for a lot of people too. Now that you have your National Park pass, you can go back any time !!!

    I am 75. Oh my, this has changed so much since the last time I was there 30 years ago. It doesn't even look like the same place with so much cement, so many people (even during Covid). I feel so very lucky to have seen it when it was more natural. I so hope you enjoy it!
    I think I will pass on going back again, just so that I can retain the memories of when it was more naturally awesome:) Thank you so much for not only showing me chaos, but also the beauty! Blessings.

    Thanks from bringing me back to the Grand Canyon… in 2007 is visited Zion NP, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon and that trip was life changing, little did I know that in only the 2 years after that trip my life would fall apart and it would take more than 10 years to build it back up again…
    Now I’m planning my USA road-trip to revisit a lot of what I visited before in 2022 or 2023, with the hope to see all its beauties once again, but older and wiser…
    Thanks for the mini-holidays you give me (and all other viewers)
    Peace, stay safe, stay healthy and stay happy!

    I spent six weeks living at the South Rim Village of the Grand Canyon, volunteering with a conservation org ten years ago. We salvaged juniper berries, and thousands of small plants from a huge swathe of natural habitat land that was slated to be razed for another carpark for the visitor centre. It was bittersweet, knowing it was all going to be paved over for cars. But the experience of living on the rim was extraordinary and a great privilege.

While I lived out west I never got any further than oklahoma, so thank you for sharing. I had a terrier like Joey. I read some of the comments & someone commented about dog care. My terrier, Roxie, I used no-rince shampoo & purchased dog shiers & clipped her myself. Afterwards she would run around the house like crazy.
    Take care & stay safe.
