Las Vegas!

Friday. We changed time zones but we didn’t change our clocks. Arizona to Nevada. Mountain Standard to Pacific Daylight. No difference.

Another great desert scenic drive. It included a Joshua Tree Forest. We skipped the Hoover Dam road; construction and delays. The bridge bypassing the dam is supposed to be open November of this year. Photo from their website:


It’s about 1,000 feet above the river. Judy says “No f’ing way I’m going over that!”

We’re at Oasis RV Resort. Blazing hot. Triple digits. It hurts to touch anything.


A cool overnight low of 80 degrees.

We’re building up our Nevada birding life-list:

1 Pigeon

2 Mockingbird
