The next day was for me probably the most craziest day of the drive so far. We left Green River camp fairly early in the morning and the first leg took us 100 miles from the camp which was the first and only rest stop across the dessert and we stopped for brunch. Then back on the road again and as we headed south we took a wrong turn but decided to stay on this road as it would take us onto the correct road after about 30 miles, what we did not realise was that we would go up and up for what seemed hours right up to 10,600 feet and above the snow line where we stopped and played in the welcome snow.
   
    This day we ended up crossing two desserts and also two foot of snow "only in America" I was so tied out from the drive which was 527.4 miles long that I just fell asleep in just a moment and we managed to get to the Grand Canyon state park in northern Arizona.
   
    We took a couple of days out to rest the car and our aching limbs. The roads leave a lot to be desired.
   
    Leaving Arizona took two more days and it was quite exhausting in the process. We drove down through Phoenix and got caught up in a terrible road jamb at around four in the afternoon and the temperature was up to 40°c but we ploughed on until we got to a town called Piccacho. The temperature at nine in the evening was still 30°c with cactus all around us (see images). The next day we continued south to almost the boarder of Mexico right out into the dessert and miles from anywhere with the heat rising even higher to a maximum of almost 47°c in the shade, then heading west once again for the boarder of California. Before we crossed the boarder we stopped for one more night in Arizona and the next morning the temperature rose again to 40°c before 9.00am then we crossed the boarder and were on our way north to Los Angeles where we are at the moment just waiting to get some media coverage at a camp site just outside San Bernardino.
