We did see bits of Las vegas and wanted to conver Grand Canyon West Rim
and reached the mouth of entrance to find that the road leading towards
this rim is not accessible by truck, well perhaps, we did not want to
take a risk driving on the unmarked roads, well, we were not allowed
this on our contracts anyway. We decided that we will get back to Las
Vegas to the same RV park and fortunately, we were able to manage the
booking on the same bay we parked our RV the day before. Really, I have
to be honest, I drove my friends to their limits, the heat was
unbearable and I did make concious efforts to cope with it and gel well
with the rest of the group, but had to confine myself to the RV for most
parts of the day. It was indeed boiling hot, but I knew that I always
had problems with the heat. We reached the Southern Rim and took the
Chopper ride, well, thanks to Amit and Suchita, they managed to get 2
more additional seats, for there were only 2 seats on the Chopper
available. We had really breathtaking views of the Canyon, (pics will be
uploaded soon). After this, we came back to our RVs, drove back to our
RV park and slept there. I was at this time thinking about the 65mph
speed limit and how I should remember that it is not 75mph at night,
unless otherwise specified. The other problem that I had was that I was
going on to the navigator side of the door thinking that I was driving,
when I was not meant to and would end up going to drivers side of the
door thinking I was going to sit in the Navigators seat. I also made
mistakes twice in almost taking over in the opposite side of the road,
quickly corrected by Kishore and Amit.- Sree
