Farrabee Jeep286 viewsJoAnn drove, and Kelly and I were passengers on the way to Marble Canyon. The Loop320 viewsJoAnn (left) and Kelly (right) pose at the sign marking the beginning of the Cottonwood-Marble Canyon Loop. Fork in the road302 viewsThe sign indicates two possible ways to go, Cottonwood or Marble Canyon. We followed the advice of the guy who said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Ingress to Marble Canyon301 viewsJoAnn starts the trek into Marble Canyon from the trailhead, where we parked the Jeep. Guardian of the Gate280 viewsJoAnn directs traffic in the narrow entrance to the next stretch of Marble Canyon. Tilt301 viewsThroughout the canyon the rock layers seemed to be tilted at about a 60 degree angle. Rock Anomalies293 viewsWas the circular blotch on the rock a lichen growth or an "insert" of some sort? As it turned out, it was a portent of things to come. Shadow Canyon251 viewsA shadow has fallen over the canyon, and over JoAnn, and It is now known as Shadow Canyon. An Easy Hike310 viewsAs far as I went, the trail was mostly level and relatively smooth. I think it got harder up ahead, but I didn't get that far. Marble Canyon Flora285 viewsA bit of scrubby vegetation clung to a precarious existence in the dry bed of the canyon. Staggering Stonewalls292 viewsThe walls of the canyon reel like some crazy collapsed building. 27 files on 3 page(s) 1 2 3 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 6dd6c4c426d1490957f8ad54cf21f642 [am] => 1 [liv_a] => Array ( [0] => 39 ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.43 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.21 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '5bd3edae1e2a3991f0b17c6ee2cd7b35' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.2 ms) [3] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.19 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.16 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.18 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.15 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.2 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-10-12 20:09:19' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.54 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.211' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.41 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.22 ms) [11] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 39 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.4 ms) [12] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 16 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.14 ms) [13] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '39' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.35 ms) [14] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '39' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.17 ms) [15] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 39 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.32 ms) [16] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='39' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (4.35 ms) [17] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r WHERE ((aid = 39 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (1.22 ms) [18] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.2 ms) [19] => UPDATE cm_albums SET alb_hits = alb_hits + 1 WHERE aid = 39 [include/functions.inc.php:2895] (0.46 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 39 [page] => 1 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [cpg16x_data] => YToyOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiI2ZGQ2YzRjNDI2ZDE0OTA5NTdmOGFkNTRjZjIxZjY0MiI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO30= [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => e973bf9825ee22111c9de2c95e8e0d83 ) ==========================
