Day 17, the final day of the journey, begins at the Grand Canyon.
We walked along the south rim to see some beautiful views.
The lighting was not the best and the photos cannot capture the amazing beauty of God's creation.
On the right side of the photo, if you look at the bottom of the canyon you can see a green patch which is Phantom Ranch. You can stay there and rest up at the bottom of the canyon if you are up for hiking all the way down and back up again. Anyone want to go?
You can see one of the trails leading down into the canyon below.
Cruising more of Route 66.
Had to stop at the old 50's diner, Mr. D'z, along Route 66 in Kingman, AZ for some good burgers and shakes.
Back in Cali.
Oh to be back in California.
Oh ya, score I guess, we found some cheaper gas.
We had decided to take the road trip and then it just happened to be during the time that gas pricing spiked in the summer of 2008, lucky us.
You know gas is expensive when during the road trip we were exited to find gas for $3.79 per gallon.
We met up with a few bugs along the way. I guess 6,400+ miles will do that.
Cruising across the California desert, and back home.
Guess I need to get back to work sometime after all the travel fun.
17 days and 19 states, what an adventure - The Journey 2008.
Where will our next journey be to? Road trip anybody?
