Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Vegas!

Long day to day, drove to Grand Canyon, side trip to Lake Mead, Hoover Dam which is other end of Lake Mead, then to Vegas. Goodbye Arizona, hello Nevada. Room is very large, like a 2 bedroom apartment. Heading off to a night tour bus to see the lights and sights.

I've seen high end wealth and now the low end. Some of that desert country must be very tough to live in. I saw hundreds of acres of cactus like harrisia in Oz. Nasty. Also Joshua Tree forests. There are images of them.

The Grand Canyon is big, and deep and is much longer than what you see here. Took a few seconds to get my heights in tune. It's a long way down. I did a glass walkway thing. You aren't allowed cameras and have to wear booties. It isn't cheap, but the funds go to the tribes there.

Hoover Dam was amazing. I've previously read the history of it so it was good to see it in person.

Vegas? Rich, beggers, pawn shops, hotels and casinos. More on that later.Read more
