Down the "Hill of Death" at Coalmine
Canyon |
| Back up the "Hill of
Death", proving the Theory "What Goes Down,
Must Come Back Up!", coined by the famous Norwegian
Philosopher, Charles Le Upchuck. |

"Blimy! You little sods mind yourself, lest
you get blown down the...Oh, step right through
here....I'm keeping these people hostages." (You
had to be there.)) |
| Students beginning the long, arduous
hike out of the Grand Canyon. Kind of looks like they're
singing a song last sung by 12 dwarfs as they commuted
to work. Heigh-ho! |
 |
 |
"I'm sure glad the escalators are working today...I
would hate to have to hike out of this canyon!" |
| Everyone seems to be having a good
time, save one student at lower left who looks with
disdain at the camera. |

braved the Coalmine Canyon hike. |

Lost students in a dark lava tube. |

That appears to be Laura keeping the cave roof from
falling. |

Horton's Theory of Chaos:
40 mpg winds = a bad hair day at
Meteor Crater. |
 |
 |
Let's see....the wind is gusting to 50 mph, so
let's sit on the fence next to the 200 foot drop and see
what happens! |
|
Seconds later, the aforementioned
gust blows an innocent bystander (arrow) across the
walkway. Landon, Dan and Freddy remain mostly unimpressed. |

get back up until Max does..." |

A beautiful picture of the contact
between Coconino Sandstone and Hermit Shale, along with
some fine examples of desiccation cracks. Getting in the
way of the geologically significant picture are Sandy,
Michelle and Nikki. |

"You want me to draw
THIS?" |
 |
 |
Her life hanging in the balance, Nikki
descends into the Slot Canyon
o' Death. As you can see, the support group above is
extremely concerned. "Did you say we're going to
Chili's tonight?" |
|
Friends forever (until one of the
them runs out of water). |
