The Hoover Dam tour was awesome...and you get to see where they kept NBE1 (aka Megatron)...ok, maybe not. LOL! Anyway, HD is a must see.

damn dude... this is going on the bucket list.. hahaha

Day 12
The Grand Canyon, a meteor, and some stony trees.

The day started with a frozen 17 degrees in the mountain town of Williams AZ - from there it is a pretty 45 minute drive north to the Grand Canyon park. $25 gets you in, and then you get to explore the beauty.

I hiked a bit on the rim trail - before making my way on a certain bucket list road - route 64 East. This road is awesome - both for curves, and for scenery. It has some cool wildlife signs like a mountain lion next 10 miles...

after that, i had a high speed run down to rt 40 and then over to the Meteor Crater - $16 bucks here - nice to see but nothing compared to the canyon.

finally - i made it through the petrified forest, and painted desert before stopping in Gallup NM.

Next was a stop at the Meteor Crater

wowwwww sick azz pictures, excellent job Mr. Greyhound.

I really hope you've made a point to check out the night sky while out in the middle of nowhere AZ! Seeing the milky way in person in a really good dark sky is awe inspiring. It's a true shame the majority of the human population will never get to experience this nowadays.

I got to see it when I was in the military doing rotations at Ft. Irwin (in the desert out in s. california). Its pretty cool.

Sick. I remember going to see the crater when I was a kid.

Home safe and sound.
great trip - the car was superb - even at 7850 feet up in the mountains.

:tup: time to plan a cruise Randy :driving:

Sure! - who wants to go see Mount Rushmore with me?

:tup: I'm glad you're back with us and safe. I've got a million questions for you next time we're in person.

Haaa, too far for me, maybe ten more years :bowrofl:
