[VCAMILO]

Here are all of my best pictures. And 4 of them I borrowed ;Dr; See my pics here (http://www.12puertoricaninches.com/boxcanyon.htm) the site might be down @ times due to traffic. But the pics are worth it and I have them in big version too. Just in case you see something you like. Let me know. ;Db;

[VXcaver]

As I bounced down the open stretches of dirt, some of the time in a cloud of VCAMILO's dust, I somehow successfully managed to forgot to look out the window. The granduer of the location escaped me until I got home and saw the images on a monitor. So here are a few of my favorite photos that are more about where we went than what we did:
