More of the Grand Canyon



Wild? life...

Erosion at work... :o)

Yes, I like to take my shadow in picture!

Blossoming cactus.

Paddlers on the Colorado.

This was before 11 AM!

Resting.

Even down there, you have posting service! "Mail it by mule!"

On the way back up.
More on Monument Valley




Campground near Monument Valley. You get an idea why I didn't stay very long...! The sun is very strong there.
Moab's car show
As I explained in a previous post, this is a bit stupid. The participants simply go up and down the main street in the middle of the normal traffic...







Nice license plate.
It must have so much torque on the rear wheels, you need the little wheels to prevent the car from flipping...
Rafting pics

Preparing the rafts at the put-in.

The government only allows a maximum of 75 persons to go down that bit of the river per day.

Security speech. Or maybe he was just bragging.

Cruising to get to the rapids.

Pause for lunch.
Sorry, there are no pics of the rapids themselves, as my camera was secured inside a watertight box during that time!

After the rapids. I survived! This was minute before my camera fell in the sand... :-(
Canyoneering pics

In nice company (Mina and Jonalyn).

Going down, pretending I was scared. :o)

Down in the canyon.

Waiting for our guide, Jayce, to get down after us in the second rappel.
Many thanks to Jonalyn for sending me the pics she and Mina had taken!
