Ruby and Daisy were soon on the road again, taking in the sites as they traveled. They went through stands where forest fires had been,and they passed a herd of cattle being driven by genuine cowboys on horses. They passed the White Buffalo Farm and by craning their necks caught a free glimpse the buffalo. They passed a Bedrock City Campground, complete with dinosaurs.
Suddenly a large bird-shaped shadow overtook the car.. What is that! Daisy said. "Pterodactyl?" Ruby inquired. The two later decided it was the shadow of a California condor, like those being spotted in the Grand Canyon.
Their travels continued and eventually they reached the rim of the canyon. Ruby gasped at her first glimpse, and then she got closer and she gasped again. .. closer and she let out a long, continuous gasp. Words cannot describe and pictures cannot portray what Ruby saw and felt. The first glimpse made the bottom of her feet tickle! She was so overwhelmed by the absolute beauty of it she could barely take it in. At that moment, Ruby felt like she had seen the hand of God at work.
