Lucio Switch Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Honey....I'm hooooome!! That was one awesome trip. I need some time to process the pictures. Welcome back! It took 6 months to me to arrange them into a decent album, so...good luck! Just one curiosity..how many shots? Quote
Jim Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Welcome back! It took 6 months to me to arrange them into a decent album, so...good luck! Just one curiosity..how many shots? Won't take me that long About 3000 shots I think (not even sure). But I will limit it to around 250 shots. Hopefully I will be ready by next weekend or so. I'm more concerned about the videos shot with my GoPro. That project will probably take at least a year, possibly more Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 LOL Welcome back Jim!!!!!! Hope it was really great and you've enjoyed it!!! Quote
Jim Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 LOL Welcome back Jim!!!!!! Hope it was really great and you've enjoyed it!!! We sure did. This was a very special (if not once in a lifetime) experience. I will probably elaborate more on certain parts, but the Grand Canyon was definitely the most amazing experience! Wow! Being a scifi nerd and all, driving the Extra Terrestrial highway alongside Area 51 was very cool too Quote
Thirdwigg Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I was going to ask what was your favorite part. I'm glad you like the Grand Canyon. How far down did you get in the canyon? Quote
Jim Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I was going to ask what was your favorite part. I'm glad you like the Grand Canyon. How far down did you get in the canyon? We hiked two trails, the Bright Angel Trail and South Kaibab Trail. Bright Angel Trail we went down to the 3-mile point. Took as 2,5 hours down and 2,5 hours up. Downwards I took most of my pictures and shot most of my movies, that's why it didn't take much more time going up. We did like Bright Angel better than South Kaibab (we went to the 1,5 mile point). The view might be better on certain points of South Kaibab, but the Bright Angel hike is more fun. We did the Bright Angel first and it was a unique experience. If we did the South Kaibab first, we might have liked that one better. Not sure. The first look at the Grand Canyon (at the start of Bright Angel Trail) is something I will never forget. When you go see a mountain, you are prepared because you see the mountain from a distance. But seeing a Canyon is much different. It's suddenly there, and it's huge! The grandeur of the Grand Canyon is unprecedented. We also did the Helicopter tour by the way, which was even more awesome! Flying over the trees and suddenly the tree line stops and you are flying over the Canyon. Amazing! Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Oh glad you did then! can't wait fro pics! Bytheway Jim we all have been naughty boys :laugh: :grin: :grin: :tongue: Quote

That feeling you get when you suddenly see the Canyon coming out of the trees never goes away. Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Great to see your back, and glad that you enjoyed this amazing trip Quote
Blakbird Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I'm jealous that you have been to a whole bunch more places in the USA than I have! I will live vicariously through your photographs. Quote
aminnich Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I was at the Grand Canyon this summer,I know exactly what you mean Jim. I'm glad you had a great time Quote
MacKaiwer Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) I can get no sleep... Just drinking cold beer (Cheers!) and thinking what should I build next... Maybe this http://rebrickable.c...rand-prix-racer It looks so nice and well planned... More beer Edit: I have now 4 sets of 42039, two assembled and two unopened, am I crazy? Perhaps yes Edited November 14, 2015 by MacKaiwer Quote
N-4K0 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Heyo, first visit here, didn't even know there was a Technic pub 4 x 42039, wow, good source for the Bright Green parts, at least. I have one, currently built as the B-model since I skipped the A-model. Quote

I have one, currently built as the B-model since I skipped the A-model. You should build the A-model as well because it is so nice and well organised piece of art... Maybe those headlights are kind of awkward but it is so nice and well-planned piece of Technic that the experiment is worth of while, trust me ;) And then you can disassemble it, of course, if you wish Quote
MacKaiwer Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) You said beer? Then build this: Wheeeayyy! To one and only reason to build Technic MOCs! So great and for the one and only purpose Really thanks for sharing Edited November 14, 2015 by MacKaiwer Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Missed this, but better late then not at all!!! :laugh: I am known for not being that fast... Honey....I'm hooooome!! That was one awesome trip. I need some time to process the pictures. Great that you are back in one piece, which is not that obvious anymore these days... Also good to know you had a wonderful trip! Did have a similar trip about a decade ago...very nice to be there... Quote

I don't plan on keeping the B-model assembled either. But thanks for the tip anyways Quote
