Is it just me, or does the Rice a Roni song run through you head too when you see a trolley like this?

Bourbon street...it wasn't kind to us.

My kinda town.

From New Orleans to Arizona, this is pretty much what it looks like the entire way through...
![RoadTrip-024_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-024_1-1024x682.jpg)
Boys & Toys. See the grin on Jack's face?

![RoadTrip-069_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-069_1-1024x682.jpg)
I didn't have proper hiking gear...not advised to hike in board shorts...
![RoadTrip-071_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-071_1-1024x682.jpg)
The landscape in Arizona & Utah is AMAZING!

![RoadTrip-077_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-077_1-1024x682.jpg)
Took him a while...
![RoadTrip-086_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-086_1-1024x682.jpg)
Jack's a natural...until you creep up under him.
![RoadTrip-090_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-090_1-1024x682.jpg)
Define little...cause I see nothing.
![RoadTrip-091_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-091_1-1024x682.jpg)
Oh our way to Zion, taking a break to view the landscape.

I LOVE UTAH!
![RoadTrip-003_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-003_1-1024x682.jpg)
Where's Waldo?
![RoadTrip-110_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-110_1-1024x682.jpg)
Hikers used rocks as a navigational tool...
![RoadTrip-111_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-111_1-682x1024.jpg)
I heart Utah, part 2.
![RoadTrip-119_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-119_1-1024x682.jpg)
Joe & Dave in their natural states. Feminine & Emo. Respectively.
![RoadTrip-120_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-120_1-1024x682.jpg)
Me in my natural state, stuck between a rock & a fall...
![RoadTrip-128_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-128_1-1024x682.jpg)
It was very relaxing up there...

Skipping...one more time
![RoadTrip-141_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-141_1-1024x682.jpg)
Our official album cover. Our agent Daniel gave us the name - Broke Back Canyon.
![RoadTrip-143_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-143_1-1024x682.jpg)
Got hit by a freak snowstorm out of nowhere...in ARIZONA?!
![RoadTrip-145_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-145_1-1024x682.jpg)
Something about cactus & snow...doesn't seem right to me.
![RoadTrip-151_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-151_1-1024x682.jpg)
Trying to find our way to Coyote Butte.
![RoadTrip-155_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-155_1-1024x682.jpg)
Look north towards Utah, and it looks like this.
![RoadTrip-156_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-156_1-1024x682.jpg)
Look south towards Arizona, and it looks like this!
![RoadTrip-158_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-158_1-1024x682.jpg)
After an insane hike through the canyon, we finally found Coyote Butte, and boy was it awesome! I can't imagine doing this in 120 degree heat.
![RoadTrip-162_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-162_1-1024x682.jpg)
This is "The Wave"
![RoadTrip-007_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-007_1-1024x682.jpg)
My happy face...
![RoadTrip-168_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-168_1-1024x682.jpg)
Great view from up top. Couldn't make it to the peak on the left...=(
![RoadTrip-183_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-183_1-1024x682.jpg)
Couldn't leave such a beautiful place without doing a photoshoot. This will be the album cover for my solo career. PS, this was also my Christmas Card to some. =) ...now...where did that hat go? =P
![RoadTrip-188_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-188_1-1024x682.jpg)
Boy band reunited. Broke Back Canyon minus one.
![RoadTrip-205_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-205_1-1024x682.jpg)
After a grueling night in Vegas, we came to Cabo.
![RoadTrip-202_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-202_1-1024x682.jpg)
It was suppose to be an epic fishing trip...except the only thing epic about it was the distance we were shooting with our barf.
![RoadTrip-210_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-210_1-1024x682.jpg)
Even the birds were disappointed in us...
![Small](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Small-1024x682.jpg)
But took the last of our bait anyways.
![RoadTrip-008_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-008_1-1024x682.jpg)
The sea lion needed a ride back to the beach, so he tagged along. We didn't have much to give him, but our remaining bait.
![RoadTrip-009_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-009_1-1024x682.jpg)
They weren't happy that we were in their side of the water...even snapped at us a couple of times.
![RoadTrip-010_1](http://blog.jlinphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/RoadTrip-010_1-1024x682.jpg)
Jacques-Yves Cousteau said white tip sharks are the most dangerous to divers...I learned that after the fact.
