The car is a miniature in comparison to the statues.
Dinner is served.
Bil is next in line for the rock pile. It reminds me of our 4 wheeling days.
So just what is under there? Shade perhaps?
One of the many statues. For more info on the area see /www.galletameadows.com
The apex of the new bridge.
The new bridge straddles Nevada and Arizona
Distant look at the new bridge it is about 200 ft long. For more info on the project go to www.hooverdambypass.org
The bridge was named after Mike Callaghan and Pat Tillman ( two prominent local citizens who dedicated themselves to public service and the greater good)

Highway 74 above Indio has a memorial to those who enjoyed the beauty and did not make it back.

Jackie's Iris in bloom just before Christmas.
Sunset with all the storm clouds.
Winds at Prado brought in the large tumbleweeds.
The flood waters that blocked Euclid and got us evacuated from the park. They could actually boat across the road.
Evacuation- to cross or not to cross.
Okay okay -- crossing the creek - will we float - perhaps with the use of the airbags.
Not a problem as high as we are. Now to the other park for a few days.
I think this is the float road to Hawaii--now if Bil can just get a GPS route we are on the way.
Picnic anyone?? Perhaps in better days.
