Grand Canyon Take 2
It was my second visit to the Grand canyon because my hubby had not been there before. I was surprised how much quieter it was there compared to my last visit & some of the visitor features looked a bit battered. It made me wonder if the place was still suffering the impact of the pandemic & the fact that the visitor numbers would have dropped significantly.
It’s still an awesome feature of nature & I managed to take some photos before we traveled onwards to Hoover Dam. I had previously flown over it but this was a chance to see it close up.
The dam although man made is still quite an impressive structure & feat of civil engineering. Arriving a bit late in the day we only just scraped in a visit to the centre so were able to understand some of the history. I collect pin badges & had to scrape the barrel to find enough change as the internet had gone down & they were cashing up but I did get my badge.
From the dam it was back up the road to Las Vegas & the familiar KOA where we were going to spend a few hours sorting out the van to return & getting in a last glimpse of the strip before heading for the airport. Wandering around & wondering what to do we happened on the posters for the Meatloaf Musical.
Both had enjoyed the music from many years ago. I think i still have it on vinyl somewhere so it seemed like a good idea. Inside they upgraded us so close we could almost look up the lead singers nostrils but it was a good show. I had to stuff my hand in my mouth to stop me from singing along out loud though as i might have been thrown out my singing is so awful.
All too soon we had to clean the van & give it back. It was an interesting to travel from virtually one side of the USA to the other. I have had some fun & many adventures over the last few years. Sadly though for the time being I won’t be venturing back to the USA as I currently do not like the way things are going.
On my previous trips I had always felt reasonably safe traveling around however this is now not the case. I am a bit behind on my blogs so the next trip will record the adventure to Canada.
