5s8Zh5,
Earlier you asked about Spider Rock.
In 1999 we took a road trip across the US and back. We stopped at Canyon de Chelly, and hiked most of the way down. Once back up top, I saw a sign for "Spider Rock". It was pretty darn hot, so my wife and daughter elected to stay in the motorhome, while my son and I walked 1/4 mile to the lookout to see "Spider Rock."
Either at that time, or the year earlier, one of the 4x4 truck companies (I don't remember which one) was running a commercial with their truck perched on top of it, so we just had to go and take a look.

I don't know if they air-lifted the truck up there, or did it with the magic of television, and cgi, but it was certainly a sight to see. Previously seeing the TV commercial made it a bit more special.

Awesome! Thanks for posting that great story.

:thumbsup:

The last memoir I read that was this good was Hitch-22. This is a real eye opener into the world of the Seattle/grunge music world that was the 90's. Do yourself a favor and read what (probably for most people) the "other side" is like...

^ put that down for now and am reading Jack Reacher #25. A great read so far. This is Lee Child's last input into the series, and iirc his brother Andrew, who cowrote this with LC, is taking over the series after a few more being written with Lee.

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson - mostly for the pleasure of the absurd-yet-plausible alternative future he lays out.

Shadow warrior by David Everett. Don't know why you can't get it in the USA. I guess it has something to do with profiting from crime. Like all gangster non-fiction isn't like that. I read all 441 pages in less than 36 hours. It was sad, amusing, riveting, inspiring and thoughtful. Thanks to one of our forum members I got a copy from down unda.
