Road trip. The first and last I have taken to date. Tyler Weirs and myself left Ohio with scarcely a days notice on a cross country odyssey to bring my eldest sister a little gem of American Engineering. More about that in forthcoming photos. Lets zero in on this one for the time being. The Grand Canyon. This picture was taken there. We found a cliff just past the fences meant to keep people from falling to their deaths and I thought it would be a great photo opp. Naturally Tyler agreed with this sentiment, so we hopped over and head down. When I say cliff what I don't mean is a slope, slant, gradient, ramp, or declivity, I mean a shear drop of around 75 feet. If there is no chance a strong wind or slippery rock can't mean you immediate and painful death, I don't believe you can really enjoy the natural beauty of place. Also, we peed into the Canyon the night before (no not at the same time). I can not explain this decision. The edge of this outcrop seemed particularly dangerous as it already had a crack in it, so I did this.
