We got up early again to get ready for another 250 miles in the car. We checked the outside temperature in Lake Havasu.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>86F (30C) at 7:30am!<\/div>\n
After just a few miles of driving, we thought we’d reached the end of the world!<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a>It wasnt the end of the world, but Seligman, an a small town along the historic Route 66. <\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>An old western town, the whole town is kind of like a museum with old store fronts built up for the tourists.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Some original junk as well, here’s an old horse carriage.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>I believe this is a replica, I dont think they had those kind of tires back in the days.<\/div>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>Not the original jail, but where the original jail used to be.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>\n
We all went potty before continuing.<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a>A few hours later we made it to Grand Canyon, here’s a few selected photos.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>It was kind of cool, but I was not as impressed as I thought I would be. I can look at snow covered mountains all day long for days and days and I can never get enough of it, but got a little bored with Grand Canyon after a while. I think next time I visit I have to hike down the canyon, that will probably blow me away. Instead of just looking down on it, feel like being a part of it would probably do.<\/div>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>It was off course still extremely cool, and I got super fascinated when I read about how it was formed; I thought the Colorado River once was this deep and wide and as the climate on earth changes the water in the river gets absorbed leaving a “tiny” stream of water down at the river bed. I had no idea that the river have always been as wide and deep, and the canyon is formed by gravity pulling the water down towards sea level.<\/div>\n
