Along a long path we came to a deep valley on the far side of which the path led into some very thick bushes Rather than push through up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes
As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off h rock on which I had put my hand On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen I saw two eggs They were the kind that I did not have in my collection so I placed them carefully in my bag wrapped in a little dry grass
As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper and not far from where I had entered It came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass As it was too deep to climb down I handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when the two men jumped down one on each side of me They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger In fact I had heard nothing possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock The men said they had heard a tiger growling somewhere nearby but they did not know from which direction the noise had come

The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period
Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage accounting for at least 80 percent of all incidents

A famous American John Muir said in 1898 The Grand Canyon… as unearthly (神秘) in the color and grandeur (壮观) of its architecture as if you had found it after death on some other star Like Muir those of us who stand along the rim are prompted to wonder about the unearthliness and the forces that created and are still changing this place
After more than 100 years of studies many things are still mysterious Today visitors come by the thousands the great and simple of the earth all in a spirit of wonder Travelers come from every state of the Union from every country in Europe and Asia

But there is no day that you may not visit the South Rim and find the sun warm on your face and the air perfumed with the incense (香气) of smoke from an Indian hearth (香炉) No wonder an American writer and journalist said I came here an atheist (神者) and departed a devout （虔诚）believer

As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper and not far from where I had entered It came to drop of about twelve to fourteen feet The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass As it was too deep to climb down I handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when the two men jumped down one on each side of me They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger In fact I had heard nothing possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock The men said they had heard a tiger growling somewhere nearby but they did not know from which direction the noise had come

But there is no day that you may not visit the South Rim and find the sun warm on your face and the air perfumed with the incense (香气) of smoke from an Indian hearth (香炉) No wonder an American writer and journalist said I came here an atheist (神者) and departed a devout （虔诚）believer
