Northern Arizona from a Baja Nut's Camera
Okay, after seening Baja Ken's Colombia and Peru photos that shows we Baja nuts can have fun in 'other' places... Here are a few photos of some of
where Baja Angel and I went the week of the Baja 1000...
Since the Grand Canyon was perfect for photography that day, with super clear skys, I will show a couple from that day, there...

Yes, we were there... It was a fun day, arriving on the train (Grand Canyon Railroad) from Williams... A really great package deal for a quick
visit... 2 nights at a very nice hotel, round trip train ride, gun fight and train robbery action, 2 dinners, 2 breakfasts... for under $400.

Nice weather you had! Did they have the new exhibit open - the one that juts way out over the edge of the canyon?

Here's one of mine from about two years ago... you can see the Colorado River in this one...

Yea David, that train ride to the Grand Canyon is really relaxing and you can walk from car to car with a drink in one hand and food in the other, if
you so desire. My wife and I actually meant the owner and his wife on the train and they we down to earth folks and enjoyed talking and carrying on
with everyone. The Grand Canyon pictures are always something that makes you think just how small we are in this world. Later-----bajafun777

Dave and Baja Angel:
Did you see my daughter, Ranger Amala? She works at the North Rim in the Summer (until mid October) and then works at the South Rim in the Winter.
Did you see any condors?
Bob, that skywalk is on the indian tribal property about 200 miles to West and has nothing to do with Grand Canyon National Park.

wrong. i flew to grand canyon west airport to watch Robbie Knievel jump the canyon, its next to the skywalk which wasn't under const then. The Indians
have now taken over that airport and if you want to land there they extract a $100 landing fee if you don't pay for the skywalk disney ride.
its not 200 miles from south rim's other disney ride stuff, much closer.
Eff the indians for jacking up the landing fees. and initiating an extortion program.
formerly Ordained in Rev. Ewing\'s Church by Mail - busted on tax fraud.......
Now joined L. Ron Hoover\'s church of Appliantology

Could it be that the one ranger I caught in a photo was her?
This ranger was setting up the telescope and Baja Angel had a look...

I was really impressed with the whole operation, hotel, meals, train ride... We just showed up at the motel without reservations for anything and got
in, no problem. The upgrade to first class lounge car was not available... but the standard car was fine and you can walf to the 'cantina' car for
drinks and food.
We heard about it from Baja Angel's mother when we visited her in Henderson, NV our first days of vacation...
Here is the web site: http://www.thetrain.com/
Photo of the train engine at the Grand Canyon... the view point is up by that old hotel in the background... We took the rim trail hike... about 2
hours... was perfect!

I was lucky enough to be assigned at "the Canyon" (S. rim)for about year way back in 1967 as a permanent Ranger-----------it is truly a magical place,
and the longer you are there the more magical it is---------no other place on earth (that I have visited) has the effect on me like the Canyon does.
It is simply breath taking!!!
Thanks for posting these pics, David.

Because of 911 terrorism, trucks are no longer allowed across the dam to reach Las Vegas/ Arizona... so a huge new bridge is being built across the
canyon at the dam...
