There is really one nice park within 20 miles of our house, not a city park, there are some of those, but I mean national park or state park level of quality. It is Red Rock Canyon and it is controlled by the bureau of land managment, BLM, a federal group.
That means my federal parks pass gets me in free… unlike the NV state parks pass which is a total rip-off and gets me into shit…
So we took Tira up for the first time today and she seemed to like the park. But, like everything else down here, it was hot. I told her it felt nice and the shade was a refreshing break but she responded with sure, it’s 90 in the shade but this is a desert, there IS NO SHADE. ok, she’s right, I lose.
In this picture, Nicholas is in the green t-shirt and has climbed a hundred feet or more (ok, so maybe 40 or 50 in the pic, but he later climbed/walked up as high as you can see in the upper right of the photograph.) up the side of a sand-stone hill. Melanie is following him, but more slowly.

Scott,
Great way to get feedback on your site. . . add comments that say nothing.
You live in a beautiful country – appears to be missing something though. Maybe it could use a tree or two.
Just remember that 90+ is better than 60 and rain. Oh do I love the Pacific Northwest!
