Now that's what I call a bad weiner!

There's quite honestly nothing I can say to properly tell you about the Grand Canyon. It's. God. It's absolutely fucking massive. It's dizzying. It's quiet. It's still. It's humbling. I know it's been said a million times, but these pictures do it absolutely no justice. You look over the edge of a railing and it's just straight down, forever. It's absolutely amazing.



But first! We stop for gas off of Route 66 in somewhere's-ville Arizona.





Our campsite! We had that tent up in 20 minutes flat, OH YEAH. It was sooooo nice. I still smell like smoke from the nightly fires. So many stars.



Our first glimpse.





At 7000+ feet elevation, I was wheezing a little.





Zooming aaaall the way down into the valley where there was a ranch.





Colorado River.



YEP.





And then the evening came and it was beyond amazing. Beyond everything.





But first...



I mean, you CAN'T go to the Grand Canyon and NOT DO jumping pics, C'MON.





























And this was just yesterday morning, the Watchtower on the eastern side.



There's got to be some way out of here...



...said the Joker to the thief.







And then we bade our goodbyes and drove 11 hours up through Arizona and Utah back to Salt Lake.





The road goes ever on and on.



I'm of course back home now, and pretty much completely depressed about it. My only saving grace at the moment is the fact that I don't have to be back into work until the 4th, so I can relax at home for a few more days. I need the money like whoa, but I'm pretty sure I need my sanity more.

I've got a bunch more Comic Con SPN panel vids to put up, but it looks like I've been beaten to the punch, sigh! Oh well, maybe I'll still put them up anyway. Also, I am HIGHLY disappointed that whoever got the gag reel missed the very end, which pretty much makes me pee a little just thinking about it. OKAY SEPTEMBER 1ST, LET'S GET A MOVE ON.

I have so much to catch up on! And more pics to post of the San Diego Zoo that I never got around to doing. YAY for having a few days off before it's back to the AWFUL AWFULNESS. :((((

Absolutely beautiful!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It really is utterly breathtaking.

[magikalrhiannon.livejournal.com]

HOLY FUCK! They are some AMAZINGLY AWESOME PHOTOS! And of course, how could you not do jumping pics?? *G* You girls crack me the fuck up! SERIOUSLY!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Heee thanks babe! Though really, I just pointed and clicked! Nature did all the work. ;D HAHA I KNOW RIGHT?? We were doing dumb faces and Chrissy was just like, "...okay, jumping pics, RIGHT NOW." :DDDDD <33333

WOW, those are some GORGEOUS pictures! Dude, woman! I was just telling Stephan yesterday that we take so many trips around the world, and that one day we should take the kids to Western USA, ie California and the Grand Canyon - because I've never seen the Grand Canyon (Stephan has). Your pictures convince me that it is a MUST. Maybe in 2011, because we've already got trips lined up all the way through 2010, lol.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Omg yes do! Not only because I'll hopefully be living there next year, heee! I dunno, I've lived on the east coast my whole life, only visiting the west coast for the first time these past couple of years, and it's just so... DIFFERENT. Stunning and... GRAND. That's really the only word for it. LOTS of blue blue sky. And just so big. EEEE you guys so should, by then all three of us can take you for a tour! :DDD!!

[distantechoes.livejournal.com]

Woooah, your first shot before the cut is stunning. Before your pics, I actually had no desire to see the Grand Canyon, but now I definitely want to, it looks really impressive and awesome.

Also, I think I've asked you this before, but what kinda camera do you have? I wanna get me a good one soon, and yours seems super great. :D

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was something I had kinda thought about in the back of my mind until I was actually THERE and WHOA. It's just CRAZY PRETTY.

I've got the Canon Powershot S5 IS and I looooove it. Though we just recently got my dad the Panasonic Lumix and it is also quite sexy and shoots REALLY nice pictures. Now I'm sure you could probably find something a little cheaper and just as good on cnet.com or something, but I'd try to stick more to a Canon or Panasonic if possible! :D

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Haha thanks! That means a lot, coming from you! :DDD

OOH, WELL, if ever you need someone to go with, I WILL TOTALLY VOLUNTEER, OKAY.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

BUT CAMPING IS AWESOME. As long as it's not too hot! I mean, I didn't even shower for THREE WHOLE DAYS this go around and I still enjoyed myself immensely, heeee. And DUDE, I am also trying my best how to figure out to get to New York in between Wincon in October in Denver and Creation Con in November in Chicago. I WANT TO SO BAAAAAD and the plane tickets are hella cheap!

[berreh.livejournal.com]

Absolutely wonderful pictures. So beautiful!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D

[whispered-theme.livejournal.com]

AMAZING! Soooo glad you girls had a great time. The epicness never ends!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks babe! I WISH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THERE. <33333

[giftedstudent.livejournal.com]

Those photographs are BEAUTIFUL. The Grand Canyon has always been on my list of places I want to see before I die, but I've never been anywhere near the west coast to get there. Bet your ass, I wouldn't be camping before I got there, though. I do not camp lol.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Ugh, I would SO HIGHLY SUGGEST anything out west. It's all so prettyyyy. AWW, BUT CAMPING IS AWESOME! Sleeping on the hard ground, no showering for three whole days; what's not to love? ;D

[smapdi-j.livejournal.com]

GOOORGEOUS pictures! I covet your camera, oh yes I do.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Why thank you! Omg I love it SO MUCH, I do! It's a Canon Powershot S5 IS if someday ever you feel the need to spend a little extra cash. :D

[hellogloworm.livejournal.com]

sooo pretty. we're jealous. i'm glad you had a good time! <3

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Thank youuu! Someday we'll have to do a crazy trip like this. Hope you both have fun on YOUR trip out west soon! :D

[desertgoddess.livejournal.com]

Stunning! (I'm still jealous!)

You should enter the photo contest! :D

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that's a good idea! I'll put some up on flickr and see what happens there! :D

[killmotion.livejournal.com]

Omg that's gorgeous! I wanna go there!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

I HIGHLY recommend doing so! :D

[qwertypoiuq.livejournal.com]

Omg bb, those pictures are BREATHTAKING. Especially the one with the cloud burst and the lightning, Jesus. I'mma really have to go visit before I leave, I wanna be all awed and stuff.

<333

[caithream.livejournal.com]

EEE THANK YOU! YES YES you really should! Skip Vegas! GRAND CANYON ALL THE WAY OMG.

[amchara.livejournal.com]

WOW! *jawdrop* Those Grand Canyon pictures are fantastic! I especially love the one with the lightning strike in the background.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And YES, HEE, I spent a good while trying to capture one and I'm so glad I finally got one! :D
