Going on a road trip vacation!

Eh. Visited those places a few years ago, not really impressed. Was fun but wouldn't we t to go back.

Enjoy the trip, next time I'm headed to the Smokies.

The Earth changes have turned some of these areas into garden spots. Maybe you will see one.

Have a great time!!
Be careful though...

you going to the Grand Canyon while in Vegas area?

Oh most definitely. We're going on our way to the Hoover Dam.

Hoover Dam is a real trip to see and experience.

If you gamble in las Vegas,then go to one of the shops on the outside of town - you get better odds there.

Some things to see:

Have a great trip, enjoy!

I was a passenger on a long road trip from CO to Louisiana.
Sat in the back drinking beer and gatorade and listening to good tunes.

The driver(my pops) says I talk more when I drink lol

Nice! Thanks man!

For all of you going on vacations, no one ever seems to actually stop posting.

Well, I haven't left yet. I'm leaving Thursday.

Isn't it too hot during the day?

Good to hear uncle David. You should come up to oak grove, it's gorgeous and makes my 30 year circle complete.

At least with Joanna.

A road trip vacation that includes camping and doingoutdoor activities should coincide with Spring or Autumn weather so it's comfortable and you can have a campfire.

Otherwise the tent soaks up the sun or it's beastly hot and you can't escape the heat. It's miserable.

Define too hot. I live in the DFW area.

Central Arizona is cooler than Phoenix or Tucson by at least 10-15 degrees.

Ramah, NM has some awesome canyons. [link to www.flickr.com (secure)]

It's very close to the New Mexico pictographs. [link to www.atlasobscura.com (secure)]

Try to stay overnight at the Grand Canyon on or near the full moon night....experience of a lifetime. August 14, 15. Rooms are usually booked but we got a room there once that overlooked the canyon with huge picture windows by waiting at the check in desk at 6:00pm which is when they release rooms that are held for VIPs who show up. Don't know if they still do that....it was in the 1980's.
