I only drove another 30 miles or so and saw another turnoff. I debated
if I should bother since I spent so much time at the previous one. Man,
I'm glad a did. It was a winding road to the top and when I got there,
I was blown away by the scene. The rock formations were an amazing blend
of reds, grays and browns. I was about 300 feet above the highway below.
It was about 65 degrees again with a slight breeze.
To the left: What made this stop even better is that no one came up the whole time I was at this stop. I felt as if I was the first white man to ever step into this area ;)

While the insurance industry had its own "blacklist" words, muscle car makers started playing games with words themselves in 1972 to throw them off track. The 72 GTO was actually an option (once again) on the Lemans so you could tell your agent you just bought a Lemans and get a much lower rate.
Other examples of this "obfuscation": Chevrolet simply called its muscle car the "Chevelle" without citing the "SS" (Super Sport) option; Oldsmobile called the 442 the "Cutlass"; Plymouth dropped the GTX model ID and Dodge dropped the R/T (Road & Track) designation, and did not advertise or promote the Rally 440 package although it was still available.
