Next stop at the Grand Canyon was Powell Point, where we were greeted by a miniature snowman…
And a terrifying sign.
Most dangerous creature in the canyon?
Who knew…
Powell Point is like a small park.
With spectacular views.
Which apparently the elk like as well….
As evidenced by their footprints…
And their…
Well, just watch where you walk.
Powell Point is aptly named as it juts out into the canyon like a point.
And even there…
The husband couldn’t escape the machines that plague his every waking hour at work.
Don’t tempt him Heston.
Really…. don’t.
River's world..... 
So who made the snowman?

I saw the headline “Man Eating Squrriels” and thought you actually came across a man eating a squirrel and had a picture of it. 🤦♀️🤷♀️😏

I admit, it was a cruel tease.
Apologies.

That squirrel’s got a good clamp down on that finger. Whoever did that illustration wanted to make sure people knew that a squirrel will eff you the hell up!

Indeed. We were lucky to make it out alive… and with all our appendages.

This headline threw me! It’s the best title I’ve read but feel let down that you didn’t find a man actually eating elk poo! Can you go back and rectify this, please? I’ll wait…

If I’d realized the concept was so appealing, I would have asked the husband to take one for the team and nibble.

If that possibility is on the table then I think you should both start planning another trip there. As I said, I’ll wait…

While my husband does sometimes go out of his way to please me, this might be a bit too far. Literally and figuratively.

I am frightened at the thought of aggressive squirrels. I am quite friendly with my neighborhood squirrels. Thanks to my dog, I am often their gravedigger and funeral director as well. I feel like there could be a B movie in there, all those aggressive squirrels would know I harbor this vicious beast and I would be eaten, not a single elk to save me from the terror. Tsk.
What if drones are the natural predators to man-eating squirrels? Hm???

I doubt the elk would be of any help. And you may be right… drones for tracking the marauding squirrel gangs.

Squirrels are nasty, and vindictive. Just ask Puppy Cody, who keeps trying to catch one so she can eat it. Those squirrels just keep on teasing her.
PS – I’d be afraid to walk along that Powell Point path in the winter. I’d most likely slide off one side or the other, and probably right into a bunch of nasty human-eating squirrels.

Squirrels carry the plague? Like in the black plague? Dang! I thought that was eradicated back before the Renaissance! These are like Dark Ages squirrels! Scary. Mona

All rodents can carry anything. Usually starts out with fleas and ticks that live on them, bite them, and infect them. Thank you for not feeding the WILD life.
