Cacti of Red Rock Canyon, Nevada
Went to lunch. Went swimming. Went to Albertson's. Went to the Red Rock National park and actually hiked on a short trail. However, we did not recognize the petroglyphs or the agave ovens even though there was a sign there saying we had found them.
We did see something awesome though. We came to a bridge and there was water flowing over rocks just beside it. We didn't hike up to the waterfall and we are sure we missed something special. It never occurred to us that in May there would be water running.
We were both wearing sandals so not at all prepared to hike anywhere. I was enticed by a information board that said there was a children's hike that had the above two items to be seen. Despite our footwear, we set off. However, it was not that long before we were walking on rough stones and wondering whether to turn back. We did miss out on the falls but I am so glad that we took the time to go on this short hike.
Miss all of you. All of the kids would love the pool here. It has a huge pool that is only a few inches to about a foot deep with a fountain. The little people would love it. We sat in the hot tub for awhile and then I did some laps in a pool, all by myself. I did not put on any sun protection today so maybe, I got a little "tan" today.
Cacti of Red Rock Canyon, Nevada is the best site I have found showing cacti and labeling what type of plants they are.
Agave Roasting Prehistoric Puebloan and Yavapai-Apache Tradition shows not only the tradition of roasting but also the fruit of the agave that is cooked in the pit oven.
