Spent the last two weeks in AZ camping, hiking, and having a GREAT time. Here are all my favorite pictures, sorry theres lots of them, but I had so much fun I couldn't decide on any less.

My friends niece playing with my Ball Python. She LOVES that snake.

Popping a water balloon.

Agave seed pod on Horse shew Mesa, Grand Canyon.

Box Canyon with Flyingwil/wen (Sierra Expeditions). Great trips and great people!

The passengers along for the ride.

HAHA! I'm guessing you mean my Dad? I went through the pictures about 5 times trying to figure out who you thought was my Mom. Their cute aren't they, what with the matching outfits and all?

Excellent shots Clark. Really nice colors and clarity.

Did you switch to the Cannon G9?

Thanks! My friend James actually took that picture. Before he did, we checked, rechecked, and checked again to make sure there was no ammo in the gun. Clay also kept his finger off the trigger. Not exactly proper gun safety, but under controlled circumstances, with people I know, I think it's acceptable.

Thanks! I'm actually using a Nikon D40x with an 18-135mm lens. I also have a 55-200mm VR lens, but we didn't use it on that trip.

This type of image is always intimidating. If you look close, the bolt handle is up; so it should be as safe as a piece of pipe (with a scope attached).

Great trip pics. How long is your roof basket, and how tall are the sleeping occupants?

Thanks! The basket is 39x88". I'm 72" tall and Kelsey is 66" I think. It works pretty well. Little on the narrow side, but so long as you get along well with the other person it's okay. I use one of the full size extra thick Thermarest mattress. It almost fills the rack in all directions, and it's thick enough that you cant feel the rack under you at ALL. I'm working on a pup tent setup with some army canvas tarps that snap together so that if it's bad weather I can still sleep up there :camping:

What do you use for steps, to get up there? Once you are on the tire, the next step is a whopper.
