Jeremy Dye,

Story

I worked on a retaining wall project for the Bryce Canyon Natural History Association, and I stopped at the visitor center while I was there to present the report. They had most of the gift shop items out on the sidewalk because of COVID, and they were limiting the number of people that could be inside.
