The Canyon Caverns is an oasis of craziness in the middle of nowhere. The car park, excuse me, the lot is full of old British cars that have been left to rust, the shop and restaurant are presided over by a life size model of Betty Boo and everywhere there are old telephones, typewriters, washing machines and crap from the 50s and 60s. And I never mentioned the dinosaurs!! They confine themselves to the mini-golf course and the path leading to the bar which, when we arrived the previous evening, we were told was only a mile along an unlit road heading into the wilderness. We set off at dusk and after 20 minutes or so realised that either American miles were longer than their UK equivalent or we were just totally unfit. We decided it must be the former and returned to get the car. We arrived at the bar tired and thirsty and quickly polished off a couple of beers 😜😜😜 Now it was my day to drive and those who know me know that I totally abstain when driving. However this is Arizona and a road into the desert with nobody about, what could possibly go wrong. Anyway we set off at speed headlights on full beam and as we rounded a corner just past the Triceratops, there was a Black&White hiding in the bushes just off the track. If it wasn’t a 1950s Highway Patrol Cruiser, we could’ve been in big trouble 😉😉😉 Anyway let’s get on with the day. We started off at the Roadkill cafe for breakfast, their motto being ‘You kill it, We’ll grill it’ and then onto Meteor Crater which is a very big hole in the ground and quite spectacular. Then onto the Grand Canyon, which is an even bigger hole in the ground and pisses off the people at Meteor Crater no end!! Driving back through the park we took pictures of deer with their best friend a wild boar! Don’t ask, just visit the gallery. Then we slowed down as Mike saw some more deer just off the side of the road. As he was driving that day I asked him to pull forward so I could get a clearer shot. He said he couldn’t and I was saying you must pull forward. He refused and asked me to look straight ahead as I had been too busy looking out of the side window to notice. Right in front of us was this female deer just waiting to cross the road, immediately a thought sprang into my mind. You kill it, we’ll grill it! I’m joking 😋😋😋 we got some great shots and then on to Kingman where we arrived late, had an inedible Mexican and off to beddybyes. Tomorrow it’s going to be a ghost town!! Can’t wait.
