April 9th, 2024 Part Three - Lake Mead and Joshua Trees

We made it back to the RV and had lunch and just laughed and laughed.  We forgot about our altitude and when I opened the mayo bottle it was like a fountain squirting upward.  Too funny!

Since we were so close to Lake Mead, we decided to check it out.

The views along the way:

There it is:

Heading to South Cove:

It was truly beautiful!  

We have not done much exploring or camping around Lake Mead and Hoover Dam so it is still on our list.

We headed back and stopped at the Joshua Forest Wayside.

They go on forever:

I just love the way the sun is making this cactus "glow";

We headed back home and this was our view as we got closer:

Another funny story and forgetting about altitude.  Tonight's supper was baked chicken.  I turned the oven on and even set at 425, it barely reached 350.  After an hour, it still had a long way to go.  OH YES!  I forgot.  The altitude affects the gas and the cooking time.  I will probably forget again next time.  LOL!

What a wonderful couple days!  Tomorrow we continue our journey north so stay tuned and enjoy today.
