The end of an adventure

[Scalp Hunter]

Hi Gang,
Well we are back and I am going to start here posting pictures. Since we took over 8000, its going to take a while to sort them out and pick only the good ones. So here goes: Window Rock Az. One of the most peaceful and inspiring places I have ever been. I can't seem to get enough of this place.

The Grand Canyon!
No matter how many times I go back to this place, I am still struck by the Awe and granduer (sp) of it. Make you feel kind of small, and puts the ego in it's place.

More Grand Canyon

Still more Grand Canyon (remember I've got over 800 pictures of it)

Last of the Grand Canyon

Sunset Crater Az, The end of the day, the park was closed, and my fuel gauge had been on empty for more than 20 minutes. Was I panicing? No, just just doing the inch worm drill to help the bike along. Never held my breath so long in my life. BTW Sunset Crater is an extinct Volcano located between Flagstaff and the southern rim of the canyon. It has extensive lava flows, and is really beautiful in the sunlight, but for obvious reasons I was afraid to stop. All I could think of was a margurita, and a beer.

Hoover Dam! Don't know how much longer this road will be open, because the new bridge (See pictures) is almost complete. But I wanted to ride across the dam one last time before they closed the road. If I had known that everyone else in the US had the same idea, I would have gone around. Took 4 1/2 hours to move 3/4 of a mile:eek:. The temp was over 100. Thank god I wasn't on my harley, or I would have been dancing on the side of the road trying put the fire on my legs out. Now I appreciate water cooled engines:yes::, although it did overheat a time or 2.

Much more to follow; Las Vegas, Pacific Coast Highway, Yosemite, Solvang Ca, sequoia NP, Zion NP, Bryce Canyon NP, and more. Right now, I'm tired, still havent recovered from 16 continuous days on the road, and I'm out of cigarettes and marguritas. Will try to finish up this evening.

OK, here comes more. Some of these you may find a little boring, but after sifting through almost 3000 pictures since the last upload, my eyes are starting to cross. first up is Las Vegas, nothing special, all we did was pull in, get a room, eat dinner, sleep, and hit the road at 0 dark 30 for Cal.
