Day 41

After not enough sleep, we jumped into the car, I shot a clip from an M-16 at the Gun Store in Vegas to get me in the mood for the American drivers and headed out into the desert for the start of our road trip. The road is actually quie scenic and the desert is actually quite beautiful in it's own way. Anyways our first stop was the Hoover Dam, it's just a dam really, but it is a big one! It was actually closed just after we went over it too cos the wind blew some pylons or something onto it. So we crossed into Arizona (driving through the highlights of Kingman, Ash Fork and Williams), picked up our all-American snacks of twinkies, Hershey's, Pringles and peanuts, and then up to the Grand Canyon in time for sunset. WOAH! This place is damn amazing, and it sounds lame but has to be seen in real life to do it justice, man is it grand! The sunset was nice and the view impressive, but it's damn cold at night, I think I was the only one in jandals. We were feeling jaded after the drive and emotionally drained after the unexpected impact of a big pile of rocks, plus there's nothing to do out here at night so we watched telly for the night.
