Great Souvenir
Posted by Kate on Nov 27th 2019
I enjoy a small souvenir from the places I visit and magnets are ideal for that. This magnet captures one of the fascinating parts of the Grand Canyon perfectly, the particular elevation of the South Rim. It is a great conversation piece when seen and looks just like the geological survey markers. It is a moderately good magnet, strong enough to hold a paper or two, no problems with slipping when on its own.
