We took another trip to Las Vegas, this time just to relax. But it as 103* there every day & we chose to do a lot of hiking in the desert.
Day 1: to El Dorado mine area, about 7.5 miles. Then Jubilee mine & swam in Lake Meade.
Day 2: to Mt Charleston & hiked UP to a waterfall, 2.5 miles, then home to the pools.
Day 3: Didn't hike this day but spent the day in town going to junk stores & just doing nothing. Swam in the lazy river & the pool, felt great.
Day 4: Valley of Fire State Park, which is BEAUTIFUL, and a hike to a ghost town, 2.5 miles.
Day 5: Started our drive home, up highway 93. About 40 miles north of Las Vegas we almost died when a semi truck didn't see us & drove into our lane of traffic, head on. He had to leave the road on our right to avoid us, and we had a semi passing us at 70mph on each side of us. Scary shit. But we made it to Jackrabbit Tunnel and explored there till dark. I found an old rusty metal bed frame, brought that sucker home.
I had flown down, Lan had driven with his parents. They bought a brand new class C RV & were picking it up in Draper, Utah, so Lan dropped them off & then picked me up on Sunday morning at LAS. I had paid for our R/T air flights in July, $255 for both of us & I only used one of mine, making it expensive but we had a better trip because we were able to drive home together and see more.
