Weird things happen here.



Grand Canyon Fire Department hasn't lost a foundation yet!
I kinda felt like a jackass taking pictures of this, but how often do you get to see something catch on fire? I was doing crowd control on this one,people didn't seem to think that an rv filled with a tank of gasoline and a propane tank could possibly harm them. By the way, no one was harmed, just an RV and everything that was in it, a couple of trees next to the rv, and a trash can. This happened a week or two ago. Day before yesterday a guy fell off the rim and was located 200 feet below (It's being investigated as a suicide). The day before that 6 people got hit by lightning, one died. On the bright side, we don't really have water falls that sweep people to their doom, or grizzly bears, or avalanches.



I didn't think I would ever miss cloudy days, but they really put the drama out there. I believe that this is the thundercell that killed the German woman. I was about 25 miles away when I took this and could hear thunder. It was a scary storm.

In other news, it's almost wedding time!!!! We are some busy bees and can't wait to see everyone! Happy happy happy happy!
