Another state park adventure. Josh and I went to Red Rock Canyon, about a 30 to 40 minute drive outside of Las Vegas and had a picnic and explored. There was a sign at our picnic area that said Mountain Lions inhabit the area. That made me nervous as I’ve read that most human attacks are on children. We survived though – and then stopped at Bonnie Springs (old western town and petting zoo) on the way back. We were really exhausted but it was fun. More people are going to state parks for recreation due to economic conditions.

Image #6 is priceless. I wonder if there are any any ghost towns in Nevada. My friend in Flagstaff, AZ was telling me about finding one like you see in the old western movies while traveling through the desert. I was thinking that a lot of the historical sites out west are probably about cowboys and the old west
Here it’s about the Indians and early settlers. They have this really interesting theatrical performance a few hours from away that I have always wanted to go to: http://www.thelostcolony.org/ It is about the first English settlement on Roanoke Island in 1587. I am actually part Cherokee Indian but it’s not a part of my heritage that I know very much about.
Too funny Jerry! That deer was chomping away and I had to run up to it to remove its mouth from Josh’s shirt!
I wonder what that was all about! About the ghost towns- I have researched that a little bit and remember finding one old mining town (Forgot the name but I will look it up). I think there are a lot of historic sites like you said in AZ…I remember going to some when I was a kid.I lived there from the age of 5-8 yrs old. Good memories. The neat thing about the Valley of Fire was the petroglyphs that were on the rock formations everywhere. They were from the time of the dinosaurs. I think that is fascinating.
