All this rush to install solar energy and the grid can't handle it, many projects on hold because of lack of planning.

Shortly after President Joe Biden offered tax credits to anyone buying solar panels, a Colorado homeowner named Stacie took out loans to install $30,000 worth of panels on her roof. Nearly six months later, however, those panels sat unused, generating no power.

In the first picture look for the pair climbing the wall. I am zoomed in a lot. They were barely visible from my location.

A little information about the narrows in Zion National Park. Of course this can be a dangerous hike but a very rewarding hike. A day hike can be done by renting special boots and dry pants in Springdale next to Zion for a nominal fee. To hike this you must walk in the water possible swimming at times. Not to be hiked when there is a threat of rain up stream.

Some places in the narrows the sides are 2000 feet high.

I have to apologize. We have been out visiting sites and hiking every week end, but have not had time to create albums and post the pictures. The sites are unlimited and all the variety is extreme.

Spent the day hiking Willis Creek,. So many sites to see. This creek had a little water in it. Most small creeks are dry until there is a rain fall.

Went to Lick Wash Slot Canyon today. Hiked in about 4 miles and back to the truck. Hiking was some what more difficult. After all we were hiking down what we call in New York a creek bed. Lot of rocks and gravel. The hike started about an hour from home.
