Supai 2008

I blogged a while ago about how last Spring CK and Rojita went with a group from Rojita's school on a trip to Havasupai down in the Grand Canyon. Well, yesterday we finally picked up the pictures of their trip. The group took along a professional photographer who put together a CD of pictures and since Rojita changed school we finally made time to go get them. They are amazing! These pictures were all taken during the time they were there. You almost need to click on them to get a nice up close look at their beauty.

These two are pictures of, I think, Mooney Falls.


This is Havasui Falls...

This is Rojita playing Tarzan...

They did tons of hiking, which I'm so sad that I missed out on. (That was a joke.)

Some of the men that went as guides, which were mostly teachers and administrators who have been going for many, many years, knew the "sweet spot" for cliff jumping. A bunch of looney's if you ask me.

Here are two of the most gorgeous shots taken. No wonder this is such a looked forward to trip.


The photographer stayed up most of the night to get this shot of the movement of the stars across the sky. Notice Alfed Hitchcock's profile.


The school has been doing this trip for about 25-ish years now. The main teacher who plans this trip every year retired at the end of last year's school year, but I hear they are still going to keep going. It's a great incentive for the kids to keep their citizenship grades high. If you ask Rojita, it was worth keeping her at that school for that year just for the trip!
