| I wasn't sure if it would be worth the money, since we had experienced such a great time last trip, and visibility was not that good. I decided to wait until the next morning to decide whether or not to go. The next morning, it looked like it was going to have a chance of clearning up. I decided to go...partly because this time, it was an open door helicopter! I got the time slot just before the rest of our group. |

| You'll notice the helicopter rails in several of the photos. I was actually leaning out to shoot down. |

| During these shots, the pilot made the comment, Carla if you're brave enough, you can look straight down into the pool in the rocks. I had to laugh....brave enough...I had been leaning out the door as far as I could to take shots the entire trip! The open door helicopters are definitely the way to go! I can't imagine how incredible the photos would be if the light had the perfect light. |

| It was interesting to see how much the waterflow had changed since the day before. The day before, there was so much water, that the 2 sections of water had combined into one. |
