Sunshower Tour w/ Regina Spektor (Day 26)

Jupiter One Goes to The Grand Canyon!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We woke up in some weirdytown and followed signs for the Northern Rim. The drive was a little longer than expected, but that's just cuz we're so excited!

When we got to the Park Entrance, we were told it costs money to get in!!!! We couldn't afford it, so we didn't get inside. But we DID find this highly detailed map....it's beautiful!

As we started to drive back we saw some wildlife....

Naturally, we shot them. Then sold the pelts to some local shop keeps and earned ourselves just enough money to cover the price of admission! (*all except the bear. That one turned out to be bronze) We drove right back around and got ourselves to the Grand Canyon.....

Now you might be asking yourself, "How did this get here and where did all the water go??" Good question. Watch this video for answers...

At some point we had lost Pat...it was clear he must've lost his footing and plummeted to his death...we called out to him FOREVER, but after 40 to 50 seconds we had lost hope. He was gone :(

Even this sign warned us of the dangers that lie in extreme Arizona heat....

We bowed our heads in respect and uttered a few words on behalf of the family and friends that will miss him over the years.....What a great bass player. What a great MAN. So sad. So tragic.

Then we heard something, "Hey Guys! I'm over here!"

He's alive! So weird!! I mean, who would've guessed in a million years that he'd just up and walked all the way over THERE????? We just figured he was dead. So amazing!!! We didn't let him out of our sight for the rest of the day...

Zac and Pat talked about things that had been left un-said for way too long.....

We each took some time to reflect on what life was like when we thought Pat was gone forever...

Pat was unclear as to what exactly he was supposed to be reflecting on so we decided to head out and go visit my buddy Jim Maurer. He and his wife Lynn just had a baby and live in Phoenix (-ish).

We got to the Maurer house and Sean was wearing a rocker's onezie...

I showed her what a rock band's van looks like....

Turns out she's more of a "Tour Bus" type. She started bawling...Apparently whenver Sean gets cranky, the only thing that makes her feel better is dressing up like a hot dog.

Jim and Lynn know that we're always starving so they ordered some pizzas while we taked about Lynn giving birth and Jim running triathlons. Congrats to both of you and we hope to see you again soon!

Which famous cartoon character does Jim look like??

Here's a hint: It's Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.

P.S. Glad yer alive Pat.
