desert drive

Today we enjoyed an off road jaunt through this area's colorful desert.   We took lunch and Lew and turned off Lake Mead's Northshore Road onto the BLM's Bitter Spring Road at mm 25.






We had a pleasant day, stopping here and there to investigate something interesting, to eat lunch and take a little hike, to follow horse and big horn sheep tracks and just generally enjoy the journey.

Easter Bunny?

  1. The back side of the hoodoos does look like a bunny! Sorry you didn't find the mine area, but it is a fun drive with no one around.

  2. Yes, that is definitely the Easter Bunny! I love the big horn sheep hoofprints in the sand, too.

  4. The Easter bunny is always watching to see if we have been good. Have you two been good? If so, maybe you will find a surprise on Easter morning. We will wait and see.
