June 1, part 3 -- still on the road to Vegas

.

Here is a link to the interactive expedition map.



On the road back to Vegas.  We flew in to Vegas, and we went home from Vegas.

(I was not driving!  I was in the back seat........)

We were above 8000 feet, on the plateau north of the north rim of the Grand Canyon.  Now we're at 6000 feet.  Still a lot higher than Ann Arbor (750 feet above sea level).

The skies...............

From the back seat I could take pics of what was on both sides of the road.....

A town.  I think.  But all of these houses are the same tan.  Maybe a subdivision?

Closer crop.  Note white stuff in foreground -- more people = more trash..............  >:-(

On the interstate, now.

I don't remember seeing this sort of plant in the other places we've visited.

A closer look at the sort of plant we see above.

It's a surprise every time you see water on the ground in this part of the country.

The last semi-close look at non-Michigan landscape.

I think this is what I was expecting, before this trip.  Mostly flat (not this green!), with some high stuff here and there.  All in all, we saw a much more ... elevated ... landscape than I'd expected.  Much higher, and much lower, than I was expecting.

Starting to get close to Vegas, I think.  This is the last pic I took on June 1.

Here is a link to the next post about the Grand Canyon expedition.
