Special to this page: Forty-eight! I actually didn't know what day I would make my first entrance into Nevada. The Hoover Dam crossing took so long that December 27 nearly became December 28 in the Mountain Time Zone. (Although it would've been fun to cross from the 28th back to the 27th!)

I don't know how to explain one other facet other than "the 21st century is awesome": On the desolate stretch of I-40 between Flagstaff and Kingman that runs far south of old US 66, I was typing away on my laptop and listening to an iPod while Mom was using a portable modem on her laptop to look up lodging in Las Vegas. A century ago, when this part of the country wasn't even a state yet, who would have predicted such possibility?

This shield set also indicates that 180 goes to the Grand Canyon.

The snow you see here was dumped on northern Arizona by the same system that later spread across the country.

We finally made it to the Grand Canyon! But it's already 3 in the afternoon.

Of course the pictures don't do it justice, but come on - it's sunset at the Grand Canyon!

This was my second trip to the canyon, nine years after the 2000 Insight.com Bowl.

This photo and the one next to it are identical views with different cameras.

I brought out the old camera to compare and because the new one doesn't have replaceable batteries.

A peek at the Colorado River

Because it was winter, we could take the car all the way to Hopi Point.

Dark in Kingman, then a loooong wait at Hoover Dam.

Vegas, baby!

I was the only one in the family who hadn't been to Las Vegas.

We spent two hours walking around the Strip late at night.

Very late. Remember, it's 2 AM Pacific Time.
