Our trip to Sunny Arizona

This is one of many thousands of cacti that you see
in Arizona. The birds drill holes in them and then nest
in there. They sometimes makes enough holes
to eventially ruin the cactus.
We went to the Grand Canyon. Very pretty and
very unusual as around each bend in the road
is a different view.


Of course we stopped at each point and took pictures.
Now this little building speaks for itself. No
need to flush here but they did have sanitizer there
as you walked back out the door.

Some of the views were more spectacular than others.



This is one big hole with many different formations.
This would not be a good place for little kids to visit.
Plus they would be bored after the first point of interest.

They say every year there is at least one death in
the Grand Canyon from someone falling.



Just more of the Grand Canyon



Some places it was red and very colorful


I believe the Colorado river is down there somewhere.


There was no snow down below but some where we
were driving along side of the road.

This is just the barren desert outside of Tucson.
Absolutely nothing growing there.


We went to Tombstone and Jerry met up with some
of his "old" friends. I think they partied too hardy.

This was the back trail after we left Tucson and it was
also barren and no animals, no birds out there. Just a
wasteland is my thought.


Above the clouds on our way back to Bismarck ND.
Beautiful flight both ways.

Looks like a fun trip! Dad's buddies haven't aged too well, dad looks so young next to them.
Glad you had a good time & made it home safely.

Still waiting to see pictures of the place you picked out for a yearly excursion.
