We flew in a helicopter from Boulder over the Hoover Dam into Grand Canyon where we landed for a champagne lunch by the side of the Colorado River surrounded by this majestic canyon. We landed on the Indian land. Returning back to Las Vegas after lunch, now we're hibernating in our cool room.. Outside it is over 100 Deg F.<br /><br />Sadly tomorrow we head to our final destination Los Angeles but we'll see Sonya, Bernie and Foxy again.wilbo43https://www.blogger.com/profile/00598066077101522060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487052844010639448.post-86517253716215737672011-07-12T05:57:24.133+10:002011-07-12T05:57:24.133+10:00It certainly has changed, but is still the crazy t...It certainly has changed, but is still the crazy town.
