Southwestern USA
Brendan finally go to hike The Narrows. A break from the rain reduced flow to a very manageable 62cfs or 67cfs (cubic feet per second), and while we didn't go as far as he liked, still got to experience a solid chunk of the prelude that is the full hike (aka The Subway).
The drive to Vegas was smooth (and no one locked the keys in the car!), then failed at Bacchanal for dinner. Waited nearly two hours, started with 45 groups in front of us, went down to 39, then we gave up and went to AYCE sushi... then as soon as we ordered sushi, Bacchanal called us and said they were ready. /me facepalm
At least AYCE sushi still hit the spot, and for $28 it's certainly a deal compared to Bacchanal.
Final fail of the trip was trying to head to Oyster Bar. Estimated at (another) two hour wait, we bailed immediately and went to Tacos El Gordo instead. The al pastor is excellent, well worth it if you don't have a good local street taco stand nearby.
