Optical Overload

Hi all
Yep, it has been a few days and I would appologize
but it was the internet's fault.
There was none.
We went out to Valley of Fire State Park, NV.
No service of any kind in the campground.
Although occasionally we would get a text come in,
we could not even send  a text.
I think the cell signal would occasionally reflect off of
an overflying airplane or weather balloon.

Anyway, this state park is a must see if you are in the area.
If you are camping, the campground is very nice and pretty.

Not camping, Las Vegas is only about an hour away.

The campground had an area with full hookups and an area without.
We stayed in the full hookup area, where the sun don't shine till about 10 AM.

There are other good things about the campground, besides us being there.

They were friendly but only showed up one morning.
We did see more of the herd on our multiple trips through the park.




The scenic views along the park drive are spectacular.
Hard to believe this is in the desert with so many colors.





We spent a lot of time hiking some of the trails
and some not on trails.










































Just hiking among the rocks and exploring little canyons was a highlight.


I was going to report this graffiti, just could not find a tribe elder.  LOL
Chelsey and Millie even posed for some shots.









Along with Lefty

Chelsey caught me in a rare photo.

And all four of us RV'rs.

Then of course the highlight is Fire Wave trail.









Unbelievable what Mother Nature did to make this amazing area.

Did you ever wonder how long children have been fantasizing about space flight?
Well, they even had space ship toys to play with even when they weren't out
chiseling graffiti into canyon walls.

So our journey to Valley of Fire has come to an end
and we are back in Las Vegas.
Today planning a trip to the dam.
Tomorrow we put Chelsey back on the plane home, with lots of great memories
and one or two things crossed off her bucket list.

Make your day great and "see" what's around you.

Tom, Millie and Chelsey
