Tuesday 30th March 2010…catching up

Let me try and pick up from the last post…we checked out of the hotel Saturday morning at 11am and spent two hours by the pool and enjoyed the sun and the relaxation.

We then went and did some shopping and out to here

where I had signed up weeks ago for a nature moonlight walk with a State park ranger.

Here is Aaron our guide for the evening.

Off we go…

It was a very informative and interesting hike of about 4 miles.

See the full moon?

Fox foot print, I think!!!

It was a lovely time but the photos of the full moon did not really look good.  We got back to the starting place about 8.30pm.

We simply went to the end of the parking lot and spent the night there, very quiet and safe.

I wanted on Sunday to try and get into the RV park at the Red Rock Canyon but I knew the spaces would be limited especially on a Sunday so we left early about 7.30am and I must say at this juncture that my sweet Sara was still in BED!!!!   Drove to the park and we were lucky enough to find a camper leaving at 11am and we got his space!!!

Our spot at the canyon.

As if sleeping on the ride here wasn't enough!!!!

We then took the scooter and went on the scenic 13 mile drive through Red Rock Canyon.

Then stopped at the Calico Basin for a great 3 mile hike, again Sara is the photographer.

We saw these two brave folk…

and this one crazy guy!!!

The end of the hike treated us to this view of the city!!

We then went back to Ramona, I BBQ`d chicken and we had a lovely supper, watched an old movie, Bridges of Madison County and woke up to a great sunny day.

Monday we left two days of wonderful memories in the dessert and came into town.  We both had shopping to do and I managed to buy the camera I wanted, I got another Canon and Sara bought the laptop she wanted.

We then checked back into the same hotel as before and even got the same room, which is great because it is a huge room with a fridge so we brought some food in from Ramona and she is only parked about 50 yards away.

In the evening we had a long walk along the strip and enjoyed seeing the sights.

Now Tuesday morning and we are going to spend the next two days walking and looking and taking in a couple of shows.  Ramona goes into the repair shop Wednesday afternoon and back again on Thursday afternoon.

So all is well……blessings Les
