Grand Canyon-2

For new visitors who have found their way to this blog looking for info on Crisfield - yes, this is a blog about Crisfield.


In an earlier post, I wrote the following: "Crabby's Vegas trip photos are being shot "on the cheap." I am on vacation and don't want to have to think about exposures or flash output - blah, blah, blah. If you are just visiting this site, Crabby Crab is kind of a self-appointed Crisfield mascot who enjoys promoting Crisfield. He jumped into my camera bag before we left, and we thought it would be cute to show a Crisfield crab gone wild in Vegas.This is a Crisfield blog, so we hope, if you have come here looking for info on Crisfield, you will come back. Please visit my archives for all good things about Crisfield. And come visit us soon!"

Crabby is looking forward to returning home. Vegas is nice, but in Crisfield everyone knows your name and says, 

"Hello" when you walk into a store or restaurant. When driving down the road, people wave; when walking, people wave or stop 

and talk. We can't wait to get back to our own little quite corner of the world. And a good cup of coffee. No one in Vegas 

Vegas can beat Gordon's coffee. 

I will be bringing you more Crisfield photos this weekend, so stay tuned.

Continuing our helicopter ride story: before boarding, everyone - even crabs - had to be weighed.

Something about fuel and weight distribution.

Crabby tried to fly the helicopter.

The Captain allowed him to be his co-pilot. 

What a view!

Crabby helps my husband take photos with his camera.

 Crabby helps with the focus.

Crabby digs into his lunch as my husband enjoys another glass of champagne. 

 We almost left Crabby behind.

Crabby Craby does the Grand Canyon- part 1

 “The wonders of the Grand Canyon cannot be adequately represented in symbols of speech, nor by speech itself. The resources of the graphic art are taxed beyond their powers in attempting to portray its features. Language and illustration combined must fail.” ~ John Wesley Powell quotes

We took a helicopter ride today to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, picnic lunch and champagne included. Crabby had a great time taking in the view from above - a crab's-eye view, so to speak. When Crabby saw the river he got a little home sick.


I will post more photos later. So much to do; I can't spend too much time blogging. Thanks to all of you who are keeping up with a Crisfield crab's adventures in Vegas. My site meter tells me you are having about as much fun as we are. And Crabby is really getting the word out about Crisfield. He is a great promoter.

Speaking of promotions, we flew on Papillion Grand Canyon Helicopter Tours. I highly recommend them. Maybe they could open up a branch in Crisfield. The aerial view is spectacular.
