We moved on to Las Vegas . Arrived at Red Rock Canyon BLM campground. This is without a doubt the prettiest spot we've had yet. Got settled in and began planning the next 6 days. Went in to Las Vegas (about 6 miles) and John and I both donated $20 to the economy. Had a huge Valentine's day lunch at Margaritaville. On Thursday we hiked to La Madre springs. I'm always amazed when we hike up these parched canyons to find a beautiful oasis at the end. We weren't as lucky in our sheep sitings, but they do use this spring. Following that, we took some short hikes to see some pictographs and petroglyphs. It's amazing how well preserved they are. Friday was a hike to Calico Tanks. Nancy didn't make it - too many huge boulders to scramble over. But, John did and he took the picture you see. In the evening we got a call informing us that I'm going to be a grandmother in September. Mike's wife, Sandy, is expecting. Saturday we hiked up Ice Box canyon and John did the wonderful rock art that you see here. Today I got even more good news - Leslea is expecting in October. Now we have 3 babies in a row - Aug, Sep, Oct. I call that my Las Vegas JACKPOT!!! Sunday was a hang-out day after church. Monday we moved on to Lake Mead and toured Hoover Dam the following morning - what a structure. Was completed in 5 years and under budget. They're in the process now of builing a bridge across the canyon that will cost $240 mil. and it's already late and over budget. Times change. Weds we hiked White Rock Canyon which was magnificient! Very high canyon walls of several different types of rock, red, white, green, gray. Took us right down to Mojave Lake where we had our lunch. Had dinner at a cute little local place called The Bistro. We've been trying to have lunch or dinner at one of the local spots in each play we stay. Thursday was museum day and I got my nails done. Tomorrow we're off to Bullhead City where we'll pick up our mail. Then more adventures and another blob
