PC is as PC does

Today being our first actual warm day since we arrived almost a week ago, we decided to head for a canyon hike we've done before and thought would be about Uilleam's speed. And ours.

Seven years ago when we first encountered it, it was a bit hard to find since there was no signage to speak of. But now it's been tarted up...

Yes, yes, indeedy. That is its formal name. Now there are some, apparently, who have advocated to change it on the grounds that it's demeaning to African Americans. Others, including an African American professor of history, are of the opinion that it should not be changed since it recognizes the contribution of African Americans in the settlement of the area.

Well, truth be told, as late as 2005 when we were here for the first time, the name actually included that other "N" word, the one nobody would dare use in these days and times. So, it's already a sort of PC version of the name, non?

And whatever you call it, it's a good hike with lots of interesting stuff to look at and great views, too.

The sign info at the trailhead said this was a moderately challenging hike involving several stream crossings. We went until the dog dropped. Or rather, given that we (read: Mr. T) had to carry said pooch across the stream, before we dropped the dog.
