<p>I have the 30d and all i have to do to wake it up is press the shutter button halfway down and she's ready to go.</p>

<p>I was asked by our 4-h leader to check and see what it would take to make a club website. Were looking or hoping for a free web based site that would have a calender for setting up meetings , a forum section for asking questions and a list of all the projects we do with a link on what they consist of. Any help is greatly appreciated for i have 0 exp in this.</p>

<p>I've been to the Grand canyon before but never hiked it . ive only been on day hikes around the superstitions , and the mountains hunting. My main purpose is to goto the bottom for photography and its on my bucket list lol. The time of year i'm thinking about is this spring or the following fall. I work in this heat here in AZ i don't want to play in it lol. There are a few natural springs on the way down that trail , just not sure how easy they will be to spot.</p>

<p>the trail were looking at is grand view to horseshoe mesa to check out the old mining area then to head down to hence rapids. No mules are available for that trail that i have seen or heard of yet. The party will consist of my wife and i and the camera gear i want to take will be either a d30 or 5d mark2 , 100mm 2.8 macro (if theres flowers the time of year we go) Samyang 14 mm lens , I have the 70-200 2.8L but i think i might leave that at home and rent a 24-105 4.0L is instead , And a Slik amt tripod for some night pics in the bottom. </p>

<p>I'm looking for a back pack carrying case that can hold camera and lenses with a tripod , its for a over night hiking trip into the grand canyon so i need room or suggestions on set up for food and water. I'm at the very beginnings of the planning for this trip so any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. </p>
