Grand Canyon

After a quick stop in Flagstaff to get some much-neded sleep we took the drive up to the big erosion scar made by the Colorado River sometimes referred to as the Grand Canyon. After a stretch of the legs down and up the canyon (ok maybe not the whole way down) we were ready to get back on the road in 104-degree heat to drive through the Mojave desert, over the Hoover Damn, and into Las Vegas - without AC of course. What fun!

Oh yeah, and officer Chip pulled us over in Arizona. He noticed me jerking the wheel back and forth a bit, but we explained that's the nature of no-power steering. A thorough questioning about carrying bombs, guns, or crystal meth yielded very little and we were again on our way. You have a good day officer....
