Escaping the heat and blahs.

Today we were trying to think of fun things to do that didn't involve tourists and neon.


Nature can be cruel.

Dad suggested we go check out Mount Charleston.  Southern Nevada's lesser known attraction. Not one slot machine or casino in sight.



A little cabin in the woods. How bad can it be?



I stopped at the visitor center, there was just information and maps... No video poker.

 I looked for show girls, but Smokey the Bear must have them hidden in his den of iniquity.




Don't worry Miss, they only grow this big in these parts..
Help Me...

 As we drove higher and higher, then temperature got lower and lower.. We went form over 100 degrees to 62.  A nice break from the heat... for just a little while anyway... love my heat.



Benches made from rock are stupid.. and hard.




Life was nice before the bee attacked.



Was it the cool air, or his cool wife and daughter that has dad smiling?






Doesn't matter, we all had a good time.. and that makes me happy!
