Highway Journey in Western United States

Highway journey in Western United States.

We've been in Western United States from late September to early October.

The route of our journey  got started from San Francisco-San Simeon-Los Angeles-Phoenix-Tucson-Grand Canyon-Antelope Canyon(Page)-Las Vegas-Sequoia National Park-Yosemite National Park and finally end up at SFO.It was a literally a circle over Western United State. 

It was an impressive journey for me as well as my friends.We got to the grave of fighter plane as well as a museum in Tucson.

In Las Vegas, we shoot various kinds of guns like SCAR-L and Remington 700, etc. And what surprised me was that I found the sound of different kinds of  gunshots in reality actually was hard to distinguish, unlike the experience in some video games like PUBG.Maybe the reason is that the interior space in the shooting range is too narrow to make me perceive the distinctions between different types of gun. 
After leaving from SF and LA we came to Tucson.Our first station in Tucson is a gasoline station.The scene in the picture is a little bit like the scenario in the movie which is called INITIAL D (イニシャル・ディー).

Actually the most remarkable experience at that night in Tucson was that, we drove into the oncoming lane carelessly (There were no any lights as well as vehicles on the road ) and immediately a patrol car which we never noticed appeared behind our car! 

We pulled over beside the lane and the policemen approached our car ,outside the windows and they asked us if we drank too much.

Absolutely no drinking we said.Finally they told us to be careful while driving in the midnight and gave us the guidance of the way to our Airbnb address.
We went to the grave of the fighter plane on the day after we arrived in Tucson.The day was so sweltering that I even had heat stroke in the museum.
So many kinds of aircraft beside the Air Force base.
Inside the aircraft museum there was an indoor space which housed an attack plane used in the WW2. But I couldn't remember the specific model of that plane.We could go inside to see what's in the plane, such as the machine guns as well as the dashboard, etc.​​​​​​​
After leaving from Tucson, our next stop is Grand Canyon.

We went back to the house for resting early because of my summer heat which was caused by the weather in Tucson.

Another group of friends continued to drive into the Grand Canyon National Park.

Unfortunately, they crashed a deer on the way back to the house at about 5:30 early in the morning.

They called the police and waited for the trailer till we came to pick them up in the morning.
The deer passed away immediately after the car crashing.:-(  :-(  :-(
