I Need to add some of the evidence to cooberate Aaron's "Big Adventure in Toroweep" Not!... Holy Crap! What an adventure, What great Memories, a time, not soon to be forgotten. With all the non-stop mishaps we sure did't allow this to be a disaster, and we surely didn't let any grass grow under our feet. We had a lot of great laughs, from beginning to end. Thanks to Aaron, Ryan, and Matt, for a great time.

Thought I would share a few of the shots from the trip... Please feel free to comment on what you see and read.

    Hey Shawn,
    nice series!
    Apparently Poop Head is catchable, one just needs try harder :-)
    Sands of time is wonderful! thumb.gif

    Excellent set, Shawn with great variety. thumb.gif Truth be told, you had me a little worried with the first three shots of the dog and tow truck driver. eek7.gif But you really pulled through with some excellent shots of the Kanab area and of course the north rim. clap.gif

    I'm supremely jealous of your big-horn sheep shots from Zion. You certainly made the best of that opportunity. Keep up the good work and maybe you guys will actually make it to where you're supposed to be next time. :giggle

    Cheers,

    Thankx Nikolai,
    Yes, PooP Head was elusive, but grabbed those scary shots at the first meeting of him.
    I really liked the way the sands of time shot came out too. thanks for your kind words.

    By the way, All the shots taken were taken with the Canon 30D that I purchased from you about 1-1/2 ago. So, Thx again

    The tow truck driver shot needed to look "simple" because he was a bit "Simple", lol.
    The shots of the PooP Head, bad as they are, kinda fit the "Fuzzy Elusive Sasquatch" kind of feel. No one was able to get a clear shot of him.

    I was so glad when I finally looked at the shots on my computer, We really did make some great opportunities from our mis-fortune.

    We surely hope to make it to the next shootout with out incident.

    Thanks Joel
