This photo was taken at the tunnel to the black bridge at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. We, J.T., Cyndee and John Monts of Lakewood, had just hiked seven miles with 30 pound packs from the south rim of the Grand Canyon down the South Kaibab trail. We dropped 4780 feet in elevation and it took us just under seven hours to get here. At the top of the canyon it was 21 degrees and when we arrived at the bottom it was a nice warm 74 degrees. The Press-Telegram came with us the whole way.

Frank Djie took a trip of a lifetime with his sweetheart-wife Carlyn, to Israel. Here he is floating on the Dead Sea. Non swimmers cannot drown; everyone floats, as long as he keeps his head up. Our Press-Telegram was dry for this picture. This large salt lake is the lowest spot on earth, 1290 feet below sea-level; measuring 48 by 11 miles across. Its oily feel is due to its high (30 percent) solids contents in the form of salts. We highly recommend the Crowne Plaza, Dead Sea Hotel. Dr. James Borror, former senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Lakewood lead our trip.
