Welcome

Welcome to our vacation, the trip of a lifetime!
I will try to keep this updated as best I can. Please bear with me as I figure out this business of blogging.
We hope you enjoy the ride!

Day 13 - 7/31 - Vegas to Grand Canyon

So I got tickets for the Skywalk online, using my phone in Vegas.
It is 50 miles off the main road to Grand Canyon National Park, AND they were
a little pricey, but hey, we are on vacation and it would be soooo cool, right?
Well, 15 miles of the 50 is on a washboard dirt road,
through Joshua Tree forest.
(forest cool, washboard road not so much)
We get out there around 4 only to find we need to spend another
$43 per person to actually get to the skywalk(Indian Land),
and it's going to take a lot of time we don't have.
So back in the car, SOMEONE is very unhappy, back to the main road
AND you'll never guess who gets pulled over for speeding AGAIN!
And again, another warning, thank you very much Sheriff!


After all the traffic we sat in to cross it,
I blew it getting pictures of the actual Dam


Under construction bridge over the Colorado River
"The total length of the bridge is 579 meters (1900 feet) and the road it´s
256 meters (840 feet) above the river. When complete, the 323 meter arch will be
the forth longest concrete arch in the world."
