June 11 Near Lake Tahoe
Today we arrived at a Corp of Engineers out in the woods
near Lake Tahoe. No hook ups and so
peaceful and serene. Flashlights for
light and that was it. We didn’t run
the generator as nobody else was so we didn’t want to break the silence.
We had a nice site between the trees
In the early afternoon, we went to McDonalds to post yesterday’s blog and then drove 6 miles to
Lake Tahoe to look at the town and the beauty of the lake.
Relaxing beside the lake
Large waves & snow on the mountain

The ski slopes look bare in the summer
After stopping for some ice cream, we went back to our campsite
and this little critter was waiting for us:)
We then watched the sunset
and called it a night - after a pleasant restful day.
June 12-13 Red Rock
Canyon National Conservation Area
We left Tahoe in 54-degree temperatures going east. Driving across the desert was amazing, hot
and a long drive, yet beautiful. Good
roads and no traffic.
Taken out my car window as we drove through the desert.
Even with the heat the snow was still in the mountains.
We arrived at
Pair-a-dice Escapee Park in Pahrump, Nevada with a temperature of 104. Nice facilities and we decided to stay 3 nights.
After a good night sleep we did the laundry, some computer
work and just relaxed awhile. This
afternoon we decided to make the 50-mile drive to Red Rock Canyon in the Mojave
Desert. An awesome sight with the
mountains in so many colors. We hope you
enjoy your journey through this part of the desert.
Entering the park
Joshua Tree
Ton took one of the many trails through the canyon
The colors are amazing
He wanted to explore this hole in the rock, but it
wasn't deep enough to go into.
A happy couple
Ton climbed to the top of this stone, but
I didn't get the picture
Flowers along the road
Another great day. We relax here tomorrow and then we
will see what's next.

I can feel the peaceful feeling in this park! Absolutely beautiful, as always. love the pictures of the two of you, your smiles say it all!! One of the blogs went away - the one before this where you commented on me taking pictures. All is well here. Love & hugs, Betty
So, when you stopped a few days ago to pay the bills, did you forget to buy some razors? I guess we know who's playing Santa Claus this year! Looks Good! Oh, and the mountains and hills with all those colors are very nice too. We Love You!!
Sorry Betty I accidentally deleted . It won't let me retrieve it, soI guess the phone is lost.
You're so right, Jon.
It looks like he's keeping it for awhile.
