Trayce the guide quietly suggested as we were leaving that the ride home might be more peaceful with one less on the bus.
A quick push sent her over, but the stubborn old mare climbed back up!

Brilliant.

As was the description of seeing the Grand Canyon.


The whole report is liberally dosed with wonderfully descriptive writing and even though I don't know you, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this diary.

Please don't end this diary with the story of the flight home. Take inspiration from Tikay, his Vegas Diary is still going strong and approaching it's eighth anniversary.

Plus the pictures of you all at the canyon capture the road trip perfectly.

It really is nice of you all to take the time to post, as you may have noticed the more encouragment I've got the longer my pieces have been,  so be careful what you wish for!

This is an excellent diary.
I have very much enjoyed reading it.
It makes a very refreshing change from the meanderings of old men.

Unfortunately, the above compliments are merely the meanderings of an old man.

That's a backhanded compliment if ever I've heard one

Enjoyed the diary also!

So,  back in the van and off we go, destination Seligman Arizona on Route 66, about 140 miles away passing through the Mojave desert. The hot dry desert. The desert with Rattlesnakes and Black widows and Tarantulas as our guide gleefully informs us, and a place so lacking in vegetation that a dozen stunted little trees have there own sign, Willow creek, and people slow down to look at them. 'They're there like that all year round!'
There was I, just gazing through the window at this amazing landscape that looked like the surface of another planet when our driver suddenly veered off the road and rumbled to a stop on the verge.
'Erm, sorry guy's, the van just lost all power. I don't know what has happened, but try not to worry, I'm just gonna step out and see can I get a signal to phone the office'
Try not to worry! WTF! Within 3 minutes of the air con going off, the temperature inside the van had started to climb to match the outside temp of 45 degrees.
After 6 minutes I was imagining who would play us on our episode of 'I shouldn't be a alive', Angelina Jolie for me obvs, someone like Kristen Stewart for Bridie and maybe Jackie Stallone could be persuaded to play mother, if she didn't have much on. 
Minute ten had me eyeing up Roger's Big Gulp and wondering if a Vulcan death grip would work on someone with a neck that resembled a sliced loaf. Thankfully, just then Trayce managed to get the van started again, and my near death experience was over. I made it. Well done me.

Unfortunately the van's problems meant that at first we tried to make the next service station to meet a replacement, but we cut out again, so after getting restarted once more they decided it was safer and quicker to head back to the last one and wait, which meant we had to do one 50 mile leg of the journey 3 times 
But we got there eventually..
