I just wanted to share this part of my trip with you all...

It's a Canyon between Utah and Nevada on I15 in Arizona

Arizona after all is the Grand Canyon State

I never get tired of this leg of the trip but this time was prepared to video tape this part of the trip

I just love the different layer of sentiment in the rock

Southwest Texas has bits like that, too ...and into New Mexico down by the Mex border.

I find the Southwest desert to be stunningly beautiful, myself.

The oldest oceanic crust is 200M old and that is taken to be when the rift started expanding. All of BC is from mud and lighter rock that has been scraped off and piled up. The rift was originally at the AB/BC border and in 200M years it has migrated that far west.

Sink-holes are a sign you are above a zone where magma is descending back to the core. The Pacific Rift flows east and west, the east flow meets the west from the Atlantic Rift and then it begins to descent back to the core. The suction it has in the crust lowers the elevation of the Appalachian Mountains by about 2km. The material is taken from the bottom of the crust and rarely the crack goes all the way to the surface and you see a sinkhole.

There is not a scrap of evidence that would support any age quess for any feature of earth measured in millions of years, most quoted numbers about those features by established academics are meaningless and mindless adherances to comic like textbooks. We don't even know where this planet was in this solar system in the relativly recent past of mankind. And them are the facts Jack.

That explains why I can't find the blue bottle. Enjoy the rest of the journey.

Now try making sedimentary rocks when the crust is so hot all the water on the earth is above the land in the form of clouds. When you stir some muddy water in a jar and come back much later will it be in 'bands' due to the forces created by the stirring alone. The earth was spinning for 3.5B years before there was the hint of a crust.
Would the magma have sorted itself according to specific gravity or not?

'An unforgiving environment': Hiker who ran our of water found dead in Grand Canyon

The husband of a Texas doctor said Thursday that she died at the bottom of the Grand Canyon after she ran out of water and grew dizzy from heat exhaustion on a hike with their daughter and a nephew.
Scott Beadle said in a Facebook post that Dr. Sarah Beadle, 38, died Wednesday afternoon while hiking with the two school-aged children who were later found safe. He said authorities contacted him early Thursday to report the discovery of the body in an area of 100-degree heat and no drinking water.
The body was discovered on the north side of the Colorado River, about three-quarters of a mile (1.2 kilometres) from the Phantom Ranch lodge at the bottom of the canyon, said park spokeswoman Emily Davis. The cause of death was not immediately known but there was no indication of foul play, she added.
Sarah Beadle, of Fort Worth, was reported missing on Tuesday after she hiked into the canyon along South Kaibab Trail with the two children, ages 10 and 11.
Davis said circumstances of the incident, including how the woman and the children were separated, is being investigated by the National Park Service and the Coconino County Medical Examiner.
Sarah Beadle left the children in a safe place “while she went ahead to get water and some help,” wrote her husband, who is a pilot for an emergency rescue service. “Somewhere along the trail she made a wrong turn and got lost. The park rangers suspect she died of heat exhaustion.”
The husband said another hiker found the children, gave them water and took them to a camp. He said the kids were unharmed.
“Sarah loved travelling with her family and sharing so many wonderful experiences with all of us,” he wrote. “I thank you all for your continued prayers and support.”
Hundreds of co-workers, friends and relatives of the couple responded to Scott Beadle’s post with prayers and condolences, and shared their memories of the emergency room physician who worked at Baylor Emergency Medical Center in Keller, a Fort Worth suburb.
Sarah Beadle was described repeatedly as a loving mother, as well as an adventurer who enjoyed hiking, camping and exploring caves.
Her older brother Charles Lawrence Springer told The Associated Press in a telephone interview his sister had been on a trip to take the children to several national parks and they had also visited Yellowstone in Wyoming.
Her husband’s post included a link to her Facebook page, which showed her skydiving.
Park officials described Sarah Beadle as an experienced hiker who had trekked in the Grand Canyon previously.
But hiking there can be dangerous, with high temperatures at the canyon bottom routinely topping 100 degrees during the summer. There is no potable water available along the South Kaibab Trail between the South Rim trailhead and Phantom Ranch or even creek water to use for cooling, said Jeff Schwartz, a ranger who works in the inner canyon.
Schwartz said rangers advise hikers to hike in the morning or evening when temperatures are milder and there’s more shade.
Still, it’s not uncommon to have one or two deaths a year primarily due to heat or dehydration, said Schwartz.
“The environment down there is much less forgiving during the summertime,” he said.
