Valley of Fire State Park

 Backing up now to the first day of the southwest adventure.

Two friends had recommended a stop of the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada.  We were happy we stopped and it was the perfect first stop

to the southwest adventure.  It was about a 2 hour drive north of Las Vegas.

 I was totally taken by the big skies of the southwest.

Oh those puffy little clouds and the blue of the sky enchanted me.

 Beehive rock formation.

 Colorado Plateau

We really hadn't given the thought of the Colorado Plateau much thought

in the past.  But the history is intriguing and worth learning more.

 Amazing sights all along the road.

Many times we just had to pull of to the side of the road

and admire with a snap of the camera.

D says they are the biggest rocks in the whole wide world.

He figured it out even though he hasn't been there yet.

This is the message from D to you.

Happy weekend, dear friends!

Look for new adventures.
