The Grand Canyon is a Special Place and my pictures don't do it justice.Time in the Canyon will change your view of life.IT gives you a chance to take a step back in time to days of a simpler way of life. All of your troubles fade to the back of your mind as you Enjoy the Beauty around you and live in the present. This is what a Vacation is all about. There are other places like this;Yosemite;Zion;Bryce Canyon and a 100 more.Pack up the family or that Special Person in your life and go see them you don't have to spend a whole lot of money.I sound like a travel agent but IM not. Life IS Short get out and enjoy it and don't forget your camera and memory cards. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Yes it was a fun group.One of the things I like about going on a trip by yourself is the people that you meet on the trips.They come from all walks of life and from all parts of the world. Some are die hard campers and others have never done any camping at all.I have met alot of great people on my trips;some that I still keep in touch with today.
