AJ and I waiting at the King Air terminal for our flight to the Canyon	At the terminal with Ducky	Erin and AJ basking in the sun (it was warm here at the terminal!)	Our pilot right before we hop on the plane (in case we're never seen again!)	Erin's pilot and our pilot with all of us (we're such fat bastards it took two planes to take us out there!)
AJ sitting in the co-pilot's seat	The view out the window of the Cessna 402	The other engine	The mountain range leaving Las Vegas	Starting to get to the Canyon
Flying over the Grand Canyon	It looks a lot like the gorges up in Karajini National Park in Western Australia	The Colorado River running through the canyon	Flying over the canyon	Ducky perched on the edge
Some guys standing pretty close to the edge. No railings here - this is the Indian Settlement	AJ about to fall off	Erin jumping over the canyon. She was pretty scared so she had to have someone to hang on to. This crack was narrow, but very deep!	Ducky about to fall in	What a stud muffin! Still trying to keep my breaky down after one of the most turbulent flights I've ever had!
Ducky jumping	At the Grand Canyon	Peering over the edge	Oh, how sweet	AJ at the Grand Canyon
AJ eating Barbeque Chicken	Ducky ignoring AJ after she canabalised one of his kind	We had to wear stickers identifying which group we were with. They didn't say "where"!	Now you can see why it's so true...	All of us at the canyon. It was way cold though - I should have brought a jumper!
Looking down into the canyon	Erin and I at the canyon	Me about to push Erin off the canyon! :)	Erin in her pensive, thoughtful mood	Arrrggghhhh .. CLOSE UP!
That is a LONG way down!	Trying to peek some more over the edge	It was surprising how green it was in the valley compared to how dry it was up top	The Grand Canyon	The definite colours of the different layers of rock in the canyon walls
This was a cable station for a bat crao mine - they used to put guys in a bucket and lower them to an outcropping lower in the canyon, where they'd scoop bat crap into buckets!	Erin and AJ looking mighty close to the edge from here!	It was warm in the sun, but way cold in the shade	Heading back out to our plane for the ride home	AJ and I with the Grand Canyon in the background
A helicopter taking off for a tour down into the canyon	What is AJ doing?? Well, she says she was talking on the radio, but it looks like she's hanging onto the joystick!	Getting back to Las Vegas - coming in over the mountain ranges
