The Grand Canyon


We rolled in to the Grand Canyon late in the day on August the 6th.We took a quick tour of the layout and proceeded to a campground that the locals thought would still have a spot or two left open.Luckily,we found the campground and a nice location to set up camp.Ahhhhh...Nature!!!

To travel..

Being on the road, your things in your suitcase, little space n a lot of time just sitting still can be stressful. At first your just happy to be on your way. After a while, a bit bored n dirty, it becomes a good test to see if the person next to you is the person you want to be with.

..all roads leads to...Grand Canyon!

I promise, I didn't throw any trash, but wow that was not a friendly stop. They looked at me as I was an alien..
