Cant wait to read your book. Im working on a series of books about kids visiting the National Parks, starting with the Grand Canyon here in Arizona. Im using my grandsons as main characters, along with my goofball and hilarious terrier named Dog E Dog in the book. The National Park closures are holding me back in terms of research, tho there is tons of material on the park website. I created Navajo characters for which I need to do some research. In real life, the Navajos have been hit hard by COVID up at the reservation. I need to check the GoFundMe site to see if they are getting help that way.
Too much information? LOL Sorry, this isolation is starting to get to me. Thanks for listening, everybody!
Interesting, lived in Scottsdale and a nice part of Phoenix (I lived near Squaw Peak but the internet says they changed the name!) during my elementary years. I am in my 50's now so must have changed so much but the best part about Phoenix is all the wide open spaces you can drive to...the Grand Canyon, the Salt River, so many lakes, Payson, Pine, Strawberry, Sedona, Prescott and all the trails and wilderness around these cities. Still dream of the mountains in Arizona all of the time. Someday, I will go back. My husband and I are planning to do some RV camping there when we fully retire. Wonder how much it has changed. Lived in the Arizona mountains in the late 70s and early 80s the went to U of A where we went to Mount Lemon and Sabino Canyon on a regular basis......
