The Grand Canyon on a motorcycle

This is our self-portrait, riding across the Mojave Desert. It was only about 95 degrees, so the ride was nice. Lots and LOTS of
interesting rock formations in this region.

Look closely.... we paid $4.49 per gallon in the middle of the desert.

I got a Gatorade and Luna Bar for $7.50, too.





We were at almost 7,500' on the South Rim of the GC. We did not expect rain and were not prepared, so we bought these cheapie raincoats at the gas station.

This is the only way I could look over the edge-I really thought I was next to the edge, but apparently not. Being a mile above ground is so spooky. It's really windy and the ground can be loose.

This is a Havasupi drawing on the inside of a hidden cave. Our tour guide drove us in a Jeep for several miles into the back country and then we hiked up the limestone to get into this secluded cave. There were several painting/drawings there. All have been radiocarbon tested for authenticity and date back 1200-700 years.

A photo op, that needs no explanation.

On the way home, we diverted to the old mining town of Oatman....talk about secluded; it is located on the original Route 66 and tucked away in the barren hills. This town has one street of their original 1800's buildings, that are hardly up to building code....which makes it more exciting. There are 12 burros that roam/own the streets. The shops sell carrots that we can feed to these friendly beggers.
