Default Hello from AZ

Hi All!

What a great trip to AZ we are experiencing. Thanks to my S2KI buddies for their suggestions! The Pink Jeep tour was VERY and the helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon was unbelievable! What a way to see it!

We've had all sunshine, though cool temps. It has not stopped us from being top down in our Chrysler Sebring to enable us to enjoy the spectacular scenery even more.

Last night Rick noticed a parking lot full of very special cars. Part of the Arizona Copper State 1000 (or something like that). Included was a Ferrari worth 11MIL according to one of the Highway Patrol officers we spoke to.


This is what we saw: http://www.azcentral.com/ent/calendar/arti...perstate19.html

I'll post some pics of a couple of cars and of course our trip when we get home.

Hi Lain, glad you're enjoying yourself so much. Even "glader" you took that helicopter ride. There's no other way to see some parts of the canyon. Savor every moment. We're all behaving (except your co-CO) We miss you, though. Continue to have a blast.

Glad to hear you're enjoying my state. The Grand Canyon is amazing - we have to go there once a year. Yep the Copperstate 1000 took off on Sunday morning. I have yet to see the cars, but I know there are some very special ones that participate.

Have you made it to Jerome yet?

Lainey and Rick,

Of course we will want to see some pictures posted here when you get back. But, you have to bring the rest of them to SF06 to share with us.

Happy to learn that you are enjoying your trip. It is an interesting part of the country.

P.S. Happy to learn that you enjoyed the Pink Jeep tour. I was impressed with the terrain that a CJ can navigate.
