We wanted to take a long distance trip somewhere, and our original plan was to go to Casa Bonita (the Mexican Disneyland of course) up in Denver.
But then we realized how long a 9 hour trip both ways was. So instead we went to the Grand Canyon. 5 hours of desert, empty wooden stands that usually are full of Navajo blankets and tacos, and more desert. Until you come upon this right on the side of the highway about 2 hours in.
A lady in the 1930's car broke down on the side of the road, and she just set up shop right there. I don't know how she got food and water, but for some reason more people showed up. Soon there was a little village of Depression-era hippies who could apparently live on dust and dirt alone.
Three more hours to go!
When you get to the Grand Canyon, it's important to have someone with you to remind you that it's just a "decently sized hole in the ground". It will help you keep your perspective.
