Road Trip '04 : Grand Canyon
Day 5 (11/17/04) : Las Vegas, Lake Mead, and the Grand Canyon
I meandered from Vegas, through Lake Mead, across the Hoover Dam, and - finally - to the Grand Canyon.
 |
Las Vegas : My $20 room at The Stratosphere.
|
 |
I had some spare time, so I decided to stop-off at Lake Mead.
|
 |
It seemed like a good photo-op, at the time.
Nice back-drop, with the mountains that surround Lake Mead, in the background.
|
 |
Uhhhh -- Lake Mead...!? :)
The water sure was pretty and clear.
|
 |
Historic Route 66 -- There ain't squat out here!
Miles & miles of nothin'!
|
 |
Still on Route 66.
Ok! I found something! FOOOOD!!
.
|
 |
The name of this place is Snow Cap. it was pretty cool. Definitely a step back in time.
|
 |
I just loooved the "Sorry, we're open" sign! haha!
|
 |
Fun guy. I think he put the 'jerk' in Soda Jerk! :)
|
 |
FINALLY!! In my cabin, on the rim of the Grand Canyon!
It's not huge, but it had a bed, mini-fridge...

I got here kinda late. The sun was starting to set.
I better make tracks to higher ground, for a better view!
|
 |
This probably isn't the best picture I took on the trip,
but I liked the American Flag blowin in the breeze...
as the sun was setting in the background.
|
 |
Looks like a storm might be brewing on the North Rim.

Last (shareable) shot of the night.
