Nice pics! Know what you mean about the heat. Spent 12 days in the bottom of the Grand Canyon in August. No relief!;)

We went hiking up the Virgin River and saw these two munching on vegetation.

Great photos! A certain cellarite was traumatized by a squirell, however, so lets be careful with the gray fuzzy content.

Elspode 07-17-2003 10:18 AM

Geez...all these beautiful places, and me stuck here with no money and prospects of travel in any forseeable future.

Have I ever mentioned that if I don't get to the mountains every three or four years, I do a little crazy?

It has been four years since I've been to the mountains.

warch 07-17-2003 05:37 PM

Luckily the gray pointy-toothed nasty beasty was shown to scale, dwarfed by some serious outdoor footgear, thus easing my trauma. whew. That left me to enjoy the fabulous landscape. just beautiful!

Super Onyx, were these digital?:D

Yup. All photos taken with my Kodak DX3600 at highest resolution (which I don't know, so don't ask me.) I'll post some from Bryce Canyon NP when I get home tonight, hopefully before the server shuts down.

dave 07-17-2003 06:53 PM

Onyx -

I was thinking of buying one of those. What's the highest resolution?

OnyxCougar 07-17-2003 06:54 PM

:p

OK, smartass here's a link to a review of the camera. If this doesn't answer your question, too damn bad.

I wasn't sure if I should make a new thread for each set so you didn't have to load all the pics all the time, so let me know if you guys want me to do that.

These are of Bryce Canyon National Park, about an hour NE of Zion, Southern Utah.

Bryce Canyon NP

The sandstone structures are called "Hoodoo" (singular and plural) and are formed when water and wind remove the softer sandstone that is under the top, harder layer.

My second EX and my kids at Mossy cave to show scale. This is an ENORMOUS cave. In summertime, after all the ice melts, the moss blooms and the entie cave is all green inside. Those with allergies to mold are strongly urged not to enter.

elSicomoro 07-17-2003 09:42 PM

I dunno...that river doesn't look so virgin to me...it looks kinda slutty.

Undertoad 07-17-2003 10:01 PM

Outstanding, and that one of the arch is simply outstanding.

xoxoxoBruce 07-17-2003 10:16 PM

Beautiful, Onyx. Or is that, beautiful Onyx.;)

Bruce is on a roll lately...first Rho, now Onyx.

Wolf's probably next.

Guilty. I admit it, I have a weakness for beautiful minds. ;)

In late May, Early June of this year I went to visit my daughter in Gulfport, MS and then flew to Ohio and drove with my (now ex-) boyfriend back to Vegas. Here are some of the pics from the road trip, starting with Colorado and working backward.


I-70 West, between Grand Junction and Denver was closed due to a jack-knifed rig, so we were forced to take a detour around the 2 mile segment of highway that was blocked. Unfortunetly, the detour was 50 miles on windy, rocky mountain 2 lane roads, so the detour took 2 and a half hours. Pretty country, though.

Kansas took a LOOOOOONG time to get through. And the entire trip from Ohio to Utah was one big storm.

Strangely enough, Indiana didn't have a welcome sign, so I grabbed the first mileage sign I saw.

We did go through St. Louis, MO, but we didn't get to stop. I think I took about 80 pics of the Arch from the freeway. This one is one of my favorites.

Another strange thing about Indiana. When you get gas, they add sales tax on to the pump reading.:eek:

The water off Biloxi is brown. She looked at it and said, "Mama, is it supposed to be this color??"

xoxoxoBruce 07-19-2003 12:10 AM

Damn, you snuck in more while I was writing that post.
Love that seagull picture.:thumb:

I'm from St. Louis. I have a gallery of pics from there here.

xoxoxoBruce 07-19-2003 10:34 AM

Crossing the bridge from St Louis to East St Louis I was overwhelmed by the smell of Switzer's licorice. I salivated all the way home, to the memory of that wonderful aroma.
A few days later, I passed a vending machine and there she was! Smiling seductively through the glass in that come hither, clear and yellow wrapper, I swear she was mouthing the words, eat me.
How could I resist slipping my coins into the pimps slot, gently lifting her from the chute and slowly peeling that wrapper off her shoulders.
She tasted like....soap. ;)

outright decay. It gives Camden a good run for its money.

What? No pics of Kansas City? I mean, there's nothing worth photographing on I-70 through KC, but damn...

elSicomoro 07-19-2003 02:32 PM

You live in a second-rate city. Sorry Ep. :)

OnyxCougar 07-19-2003 02:53 PM


I had been through KC several years ago, a friend grew up there and his parents still live there. We went to visit. It was the first time I'd ever seen fireflies, and also the first time, when asking directions, I heard, (this is no lie) "Oh, that's just 2 hoots and a holler over yonder."

So yeah, we didn't stop in KC again....

I went to Arizona today to put some stuff in storage at my dad's house, and took a few pics.

The only thing around for MILES...one guy in a dome house in the middle of the Arizona desert.

OnyxCougar 07-21-2003 01:05 AM

One of the things about the desert is that you can look at a set of mountains and think, "Oh, that's not very far away." The mountains in the distance there are BEHIND Lake Mead, and actually form part of the Grand Canyon. Over 200 miles away.
