Powell had a treacherous journey of exploration but I think it was in his blood and he couldn't stop himself. He explored so much area in the West.

Boy, it sure was a long way down there. I did not walk across the swinging bridge. No way. I got to enjoy it with my folks unexpectedly. My family was going through ans I saw a travel trailer with my brother's name on it shortly before and so we caught them and all went there together. My brother had my mom and dad with him. My poor mom spent her time trying to see from behind a post. Was scared to look down. Would love to win your book. Hoping!!!
