More of the Big Day

Continued  

                
At the top of the canyon we are bused from the airport to the Skywalk

We thought about going out on the skywalk but you can't take a camera or anything with you that might chip the glass??????

We decided it was just too much money just to say you did it.The view is the same from the land.

Almost everybody seemed to think it was a rip and didn't go out there.

(All the people you see on the skywalk wearing red are employees)

You won't get me this close to the edge

It's a long way down

Here you see where the rock is cracked and we are all going to fall into the canyon with it.

But we feel safe now cause they have a rope holding it together??

We did walk around the site for a while

You can tell that's Peg cause she has her  white name tag on

I'm not sure what Chris is up to

It's Peggy again(name badge)

Now we are bused over to a different site where we had a hot dinner and cold water

The views are spectacular

So we head out here to the point

An old mining site

Boy decides to climb out over the canyon on this structure, da!

Then it was back to the chopper for the ride home

This was interesting

This was a landing strip built to simulate an aircraft carrier so the pilots could practice their landings

It was also the site of the last scene in Thelma and Louise where they drove off the cliff.

Cool!

Back over Lake Mead

Just beautiful

We flew down the strip on the way home.

I took a movie rather than pictures

Then it was back to the airport where the limo took us home or rather just to the Casino where our luck was not as good as the past few days.

All in all a great day.
