Day 5 (new mexico to grand canyon)

Well we left the camp site in new Mexico early due to the bugs and loud birds. On our way we drove through some really neat mountains.
We got to the canyon a bit late. It was around 5 when we finally got into the park and parked the bikes. We thought it was going to be $25 each but the lady said it was only $12 per person on motorcycles. Great! Also the pass lasts 7 days and apparently the park never closes so you could stay there all night if you wanted to.
The canyon was nothing short of spectacular. I can't even describe it other than to tell you to go see it for yourself.
After we left the canyon we went to get a camp site. All full. Shit!
We drove down the road. All full. Double shit! 
It was pitch black out by this point so we figured we would ride into the little shitty town by the interstate. They wanted $107 per night for a shitty super 8. We then decided to just roll on to Vegas. Well about half way there I started falling asleep. We underestimated how tired we were from walking all around the canyon for hours.
So we stopped at a truck stop.
