Wow! I have not heard that song before. I sung it in my head nevertheless as I was reading it.

My kids think it is funny when I do that to books I am reading to them, where they do not specify it is a song, and I break out a ballad of the words I am reading. Those words are supposed to be a song. Fun times.

Regarding the uninvintive names for States, this applies to City names as well. I cannot think of an odd one right now. However, they are out there.

When I went I thought that no picture could do it justice because in a way it looked like a picture. The north rim was so far away that all sense of depth was lost. I knew it was real, but it looked like somebody went out a few miles and dropped a really convincing but flat canvas. It truly boggles the mind, I went with some friends who are rarely lost for words and we couldn't help but stand in stunned in silence for a couple minutes. Can't wait to go back and take my family, spend more than just an afternoon, and actually get down into the canyon.

If you've never visited Taos, do yourself a favor and rectify that situation. Swing by Santa Fe too while you're in the area.

The Rio Grande Gorge alone is worth the trip, but for me the really amazing part was Carson National Forest. I drove down from Colorado, meaning that the last thing I had seen was the Sangre De Cristos on my left and the San Juans on my right, with empty flat desert in the middle. And then… suddenly trees. It's hard to describe how uniquely and wonderfully weird it is.
