Scenes from around Boulder City

After Zion we drove southwest over to Nevada to scout around Boulder City for a couple days. We'll be doing the Desert Winds expedition race there later this month, and it was nice to get to know the area a bit.

On the way into Vegas, John scored a few tie-down straps:

We rented a canoe to see a small part of Lake Mohave - very pretty:

A great little store just east of Nelson - part of the movie "3000 Miles to Graceland" was filmed here:

With help from a local, we found a fun little natural bridge:

That's it! I'm caught up on blogging.

John and I will be doing the Lone Star Rogaine in Texas this weekend, looking forward to it.

Later y'all!
