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.

April 9th, 2024 Part Two - Grand Canyon West Day Two

 Our second stop for the day was Guano Point:

On the way to the Tramway:

Just loved seeing this gentleman in the red jacket:

The Tramway "Head House":

The end of the Tramway:

I could not see the cave so have no clue where it might be.  

If you look real close at the center of the picture, you will see a red helicopter.  My mind cannot grasp the immenseness of this place but that helicopter does give some nice perspective:

My Andy waiting for me:

One last look at the Grand Canyon:

Sadly pictures do not do this place justice..  It is awesome!

We made our way back to the bus and then back to the RV.  But our day was not done yet - See Part Three.
