The Watchtower at Desert View was built in 1932 and the architect was Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter who spent months researching the towers built by Native Americans all over the Southwest. The Watchtower is an observation station and a convenient rest stop for Grand Canyon visitors.

I have a seemingly strange connection to my weekend/carry-on bag. It was an impulse purchase back in the day when I really couldn’t afford it. But the crocodile green leather and spacious interior seemed to beg me to take it with me on my future adventures. And so it was!

I recently replaced the zipper closure, that’s how much I love this bag.
