I made a road trip to Death Valley National Park yesterday. I drove through Titus Canyon and got an eyful of wildflowers in bloom. We had a fairly rainy winter so the wildflowers were in abundance. Lots of color, blues, purples, reds and yellows.

From Titus I went up to the dry lake bed "racetrack". Here there are many rocks laying on the lakebed floor that mysteriously have been moved by some force. As far as I know the mystery has not been solved. The road was fairly good this trip, it can be very rough at times.

From "racetrack" I drove down to the sand dunes and got a nice workout walking in the sand.

Memorial Day 2009

On this long and long overdue weekend I decided to go out and document some activities in the area. My first stop was Hoover dam just after sunrise. I was curious to see how the progress was coming on thebypass bridge over the dam. The archway is almost complete. What an amazing structure!

On the way back into town I stopped at the Souther Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City. Volunteers were placing small U.S. Flags on the 23,000 graves to honor the fallen veterans. They were just finishing up as I arrived. there were lots of volunteers and they made quick work of the project.

I had read about the Summerlin Mad Mud Run in the mornings paper so I drove back across town to see if I could catch any of this event as it had already started by the time I left the cemetery. I arrived just in time to catch some of the participants crossing the finish line. I wish I could've gotten there sooner as everyone was all smiles and having a great time.
