Clark County Museum
This post could be subtitled Leaving Las Vegas. We spent a month there and I was amazed at the number of activities we found that didn't involve the usual things people go to Vegas for. The Clark County

Casino
Okay, okay, so we did go to a casino while we were in Las Vegas. The Bellagio. We took the monorail there, or as close as we could get. But we didn't gamble or see a show. As I've mentioned before, that's

Monorail
Did you know that there's a train in downtown Las Vegas? It's not what you might think. It's a monorail. The Las Vegas Monorail is owned and maintained by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

Whitney Mesa
Another day, another hike. This time we stayed within city limits – Henderson city limits, that is. Whitney Mesa Nature Preserve is managed by the Henderson Department of Parks and Recreation. As noted

tunnel trail
Perhaps the most popular tourist attraction in the vicinity of Las Vegas is the Hoover Dam1. While we didn't tour the dam itself this trip, Kim and I discovered a fascinating way to get there – the Historic

Las Vegas is not a city that lives in the past1, especially architecturally. When someone has a big idea with big financing and something less than shiny and new occupies a golden location, they have no

Mormon Fort
I noted in my post on the Springs Preserve that there is where the city began. If that's true, then why does the legend on the exterior wall of the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort visitor center, as seen in

Springs Preserve
Every city has to start somewhere. Las Vegas started at the Springs Preserve. Wikipedia tells us, The Las Vegas Springs or Big Springs is the site of a natural oasis, known traditionally as a cienega.

In my last post I forecast my intention to revisit the Clark County Wetlands Park on my bicycle. Indeed I did. I was well rewarded for my effort by a friendly roadrunner. More on that later. You can easily

Something went wrong when I posted my last entry about the Clark County Wetlands. I'm writing this post, therefore, to redirect my readers to view that post via Ecency rather than at this site. I would

Wetlands in the desert? Who'd 'a thunk it? When we were looking for things to do in Las Vegas, aside from the usual fare I mentioned in my last post that we were trying to avoid, the Clark County Wetlands

Diner
What do you think of when you think of Las Vegas? Extravagant shows and casinos? Late, late night life? The sports book? Golfing and conventions? Yeah, I think of all that too. But we don't go in much

Earp
If you find the name Earp familiar, you are likely thinking of Wyatt Earp, the Old West lawman of Gunfight at the O.K. Corral fame. I'm talking about Earp, CA, a vestige of a town in southeastern California

Good Company
When we first starting taking Mario out for trips in the trailer – before we had Stitch and Milo – he was a bit out of sorts. Of course, he never enjoyed the ride in the truck. We expected that. But when

Everyone has a different idea of how much you should drive in a day and when you should fuel up. This is a personal subject. What is your tolerance and stamina for driving? How quickly do you want to get

The first destination where we planned to visit people rather than places was Scottsdale, AZ. I'm not going to write much about Scottsdale. It's big enough, popular enough, and well-known enough that they

Rockhound
Rockhound State Park in Deming, NM is the only place we stayed an extra night before reaching our first destination. Our decision was based upon a YouTube video we saw that made the place look charming.
