Hoover Dam & The Grand Canyon

The drive so far has been ok, Worgan stresses & I stress because he drives complaining about everyone's driving and he speeds.......it's like being at home really!!!! We got to the Hoover dam and what a feat of engineering for the 30's pretty bloody amazing, it was boiling there finally some real hot weather. From there we made our way to the Canyon bloody long way via a bit of the famous Route 66. We are staying 8 miles from the entrance to the GC National Park, $25US for a 7 day pass. We get up for our first day into the park and its pouring with rain, and it keeps up for most of the morning as per our pics. Thought we were gonna miss out on the Canyon's full glory. But as we all know GOD shines on the USA (in God they trust)& yes she showed up with the sun!!!! It's truly a magnificent sight to see, the sheer magnitude of this big long hole in the ground, millions of years in the making & still growing according to the geologist/ranger guide. Worgan the "not so" brave wouldn't get close to the lookouts & doesn't want to take one of the walking trails down to almost the bottom (5-6hrs) round trip....but tomorrow is another day! Checkout some of the pics. PnD xx
