We're home again

After too many hours on the road-(that's not the way to vacation but we did enjoy getting away for a little while), I snapped some more photos of Vegas-got in their rush hour traffic on the freeway and we barely moved. No one commented on my last blog photos of the GOD billboard-no info just the word. Not sure if it's religiously inspired or related to a show on the strip. Did see another billboard advertising the aquarium that said GO Deep-maybe connected?





















Vegas is a strange place, intriguing, fascinating and grating on the nerves at the same time. Here's some more photos from the car as we drove slowly by. Observation tower similar to Space Needle in Seattle, Skyline of New York City, A pyramid with hotel rooms inside, Excalibar castle, and there is much more-Effiel Tower and Venetian Canals of Italy. It's worth a trip just to take it all in. Plan to walk lots.

Field Trip

Well, we just finished an exciting field trip to Little Petroglyph Canyon near China Lake Naval Base in Southern California with the Dixie Archaeology Club. A fascinating place, we saw myriads of petroglyphs as we walked along a dry creek bed. Lots of long horn sheep and other symbolic art carefully chiseled into the rocks.
