Thou Shalt Not Road Trip (2012)
“Havasu Falls, Supai, Arizona It’s all Alex’s fault.
Matt, I can ignore. He’s the one who dragged me from my room and onto yet another dusty path, pushing me like one of those hyperactive personal trainers on TV infomercials. I can pretty much tune him out. But Alex… “Come on, Luke,” she says, my personal preppy cheerleader with the perfect perky ponytail. “We’re almost there.”
“Almost where?” I say, more breath than words.
“Wherever Matt is taking us.”
She is Matt’s messenger—just a go-between—...but I can’t be angry with her, and she knows it. Ahead of us, Matt bounds forward, eyes shifting from left to right in search of something I can’t see.
And then, finally, he stops.
And points.
Alex runs to join him. She gazes at the scene before us, entranced.
I can see why too. It’s a vision from a movie: A waterfall cascades down a sheer cliff face, into a circular lake so blue I’d swear I can see the bottom. Actually, it’s not blue—it’s turquoise. And as the spray from the waterfall catches the afternoon sun and sparkles like jewels, I know it’s the most astonishing place I’ve ever been.MoreLess
