A 66-year-old hiker, who became lost on the Appalachian Trail, kept a journal documenting her 26-day ordeal before succumbing to lack of food and exposure. In one entry, she pleaded “When you find my body, please call my husband and daughter.” The last entry, dated on August 28 2013, reveals she survived for at least 26 days after she got lost while going off the trail to relieve herself. On one torn-out page, dated August 6, Largay wrote: “When you find my body, please call my husband George and my daughter Kerry. “It will be the greatest kindness for them to know that I am dead and where you found me – no matter how many years from now. “Please find it in your heart to mail the contents of this bag to one of them.”

I have several things to say about every one of these pictures. I've said them on Reddit, LiveLeak, and Facebook. Out of all of them, #53 stands out the most to me. I've traveled the same rapids of the Colorado River for over 30 years. All of them with my eyes closed. Riding rapids requires instincts beyond sight. I've felt the waves, the rocks beneath my legs and thighs. I've listened to winds and their effects over the boulders as this river has run. Through all four seasons, each rock speaks. Each year, each season, I've rode their floes and heard their words. Yet it wasn't until a blind man went online to blog his journey did the world finally listen to what my people have known...

#57 Google will never be able to duplicate, nor replicate, the overwhelming feeling of actually being in the presence of great, natural beauty. Google can lend us maps, pictures, and directions, but they can never duplicate the magic that comes from actually living the moments in these great places, even if for a few moments. Any time of day, on any given time of year, the Canyons have their own smells and sounds depending on what wildlife is migrating. Each season brings new life to the Canyons. Each sunrise, sunset, twilight, and full moon, brings more to life than any CGI or Hollywood movie. The romance of its natural beauty makes everyone who views it, reconsider their definition of, LOVE.
