O T: You Are Here!

[RitchieDarling]

Well, actually, this is where I have been for the last few days!

The Phantom Ranch. Now THAT is a remote jobsite!

Lucky for me, today I am on top of the canyon looking down!

If you've never been to the Grand Canyon, all I can say is.......

MOVE YOUR A$$!!

It's unbelievable!

Is that picture from the South rim? Visited the canyon a few years ago...it is one of those places that are too hard to put into words. Very cool worksite!

 

[RitchieDarling]

Yeah, that's the South Rim.

Yavapai Point. There's a survey marker right behind the spot where that pic was taken.

I was in that neck of the woods last summer, and I can't wait to go back!!!! It's simply breathtaking!!!!!

You're lucky to work there.

Me = jealous!

WOW! The Grand Canyon is truly one of the wonders of the world. I've been there a couple of times, and hiked down to the "red" part -- (hahahaha, the red striation of dirt down there) - it's not even halfway to the bottom and it took us all day!

My brother in law is a search and rescue EMT coordinator there. If you see the chopper flying around he's onboard. Yup they (his family) have to live in the Grand Canyon, and have 24/7 nice views.

.....Never been to the Grand Canyon, but I plan on going there...someday!

 

[maddog]

Being a desert dweller it is funny seing the "Don't hike past this point." signs. So used to planning for hiking in desiccated areas that forget others aren't used to the brutal Arizona sun and heat.

have u been on that glass platform? where u can look down and over? (i dunno if its north or south, being from the opposite part of the world and all)
but that platform looks pretty sweet

 

[Randracula]

Cool.....did you take the Dam tour ?

No. That's something like 90 miles from where we were. And it's 27 miles on unpaved roads. Either way, I have no desire to see it.

No........ I was working.

Uh......yeah wrong joke. For some reason I was thinking Glen Canyon Dam when I saw your post. My old band was on tour in Arizona/Utah a few years back and we stopped there.Grand Canyon is pretty awesome as well !

 

[Bill]

Wow...that's beautiful! I haven't seen the Grand Canyon yet, but that's a trip I'd definitely love to make.

I'm still kicking myself for not going to the Canyon on my honeymoon 7 years ago; we were right there in Las Vegas!

 

[Jim_F]

Jim = jealous too!

One of the sights I am hoping to take in next year - just starting to plan a trip to the States.
Grand Canyon even looks amazin on Google Earth ...

Not unless you crashed and had to climb out!
