We dug up a lot of rocks, and dirt under the hot desert sun. ; (<br>

Gardening can feel like a full time job, but the rewards are great! <br>

He must have thought I looked strange, or I was acting funny because he smiled, stared, and laughed at me continuously. <br>

What a cutie!<br>

Nan-Cat, a hardcore scrambler of Red Rock, and one of my best friends. I've missed you dearly! Sigh....the trouble we used to get into in those canyons! I remember a lot of, "Oh my god, oh my f*#king god, I'll never do that again, I'll f*#king never do that again!" Only to do it, again, and again, and again........

In my early days of scrambling (late 90's) in the canyons of Red Rock. Before I knew anything about "technical rock climbing." I miss those days when I felt so free, and brave, or stupid.

A nice hike, and beautiful summit with views of Area 51, and Groom lake.<br>
<br>
Our sky, and star gazing outing turned into a fun little adventure , as we forgot our headlamps for the hike down in the dark on that moonless night. Ooops. <br>
<br>
It wasn't much of a problem for Jonny who has great night vision, probably from years of rigging in the dark. I'm not that lucky, but had realized that I had my cell phone on me, and used the lit up screen as a nite-lite, which by the way, worked out great.
