A friend offered me an almost all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas. I almost said no but ... Count the number of pictures taken in Vegas. Day one I leave Vegas via Boulder City Airport on the way to The Grand Canyon.
2 For most of us the flight on this small plain was an adventure.
3 I love flying in these small planes.
4 The pilot took us for an areal tour of the area.
5 Hoover Dam (once Boulder Dam) is wonderful.
6 More Dam and a glimpse of Lake Mead.
7 Perfect day for an arial view.
8 Lake Mead.
9 On the way to Grand Canyon.
10 Great ride and a beautiful day.
11 Next, in order to get down 4,000 feet to the CColorado river we take a helicopter.
12 I will not be the pilot. I have flown in a helicopter before but its a first for the others on this trip.
