Grand Canyon


Here is a pretty killer lookin cactus. I thought that it looked like it had strwberries on top lol.






Here is a picture of Matt who walked right passed this sign trying to get a better picture of one of those birds. And of you can't tell the pucture in the middle of the sign is a person falling off the side of a cliff. I thought this was pretty funny.






The red warning sign was saying that you should not try to walk all the way down and back up the canyon in one day since there was such a chance of dehydration.






























On our way to California we went to the Grand Canyon since none of us had ever seen it and it was on the way... well kind of. So we stopped there and man was it hot! Well I guess it wasn't that bad but I wasn't really feeling that great. We were all passing our germs around to each other the whole week from being in that car for such a long time, so Matt passed his stuffy nose and sore throat to me. My body was all confused, Chris kept saying I felt warm but I felt like I needed my hoody on then I got hot then I got cold again... I was just all messed up that day. Anyways, we walked on a path that went around part of the rim of the canyon. It was pretty neat to see it in person and to see how big it was. The rock was really red, it was really sandy and dry but then there were like trees and bushes everywhere? Quite interesting lol. But I guess God Knows where everything belongs so it doesn't matter if I think it's strange lol. I guess Chris was reading a pamphlet and read something about these birds called condors that had up to a 9ft wing span. So of course the guys had to see that. We went to another area of the canyon to where these birds were supposed be and we ended up seeing a few. Matt said that they looked like really big vultures, I thought so too. I enjoyed the experience I just wished I felt better that day.

I am going to go and see that someday. I have always wanted to go out west!
Yeah, Matt on the cliff with the sign in the picture is priceless!
So what else is going on out there in Cali?
