Howdee all,
Nephew Andrew is with us for two weeks. A week here in Red Rock Canyon and then a week in Death Valley.
Jeff is teaching him how to get up early and go gambling..So far I don't think he has lost too much..and Jeff is about even.
We tend to do afternoon hikes most every day.
We thought we would break Andrew in with a hike that we did when Nephew David was visiting..
Some light bouldering around the Calico rocks
Andrew enjoyed the candy cane striped rocks And enjoyed the challenge of bouldering..
I really..enjoy the mixture of rocks here,..stripes, polka dot and orange. Andrew going down a boulder..hummm.. watched by the experts.. Nice job getting down! Another fun way to cross thru boulders…pressure with the feet on one and pressure with the hands on another..till you reach the bottom… Or…Jump…. …Andrew is feeling at home amongst the red rocks… Like his new Home?
More Andrew adventures to come…stay tuned Rick and Gail for more fun..
You might want to brace yourself for the next segment..Mom Gail..
as Andrew will be rock climbing up a 60 foot high rock face…
YIKES..
ps..I do some rock climbing too!
Those have to be the most gorgeous rocks ever. I cant imagine what it took to create them. You are so fortunate to experience all that you do.
ReplyDeleteI believe the expression is OMG!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are beautiful....so's my kid!
Thanks for the warning about the climbing...I'll make sure to have a glass of wine in my hand...
Have fun...and thanks!
Gail
Those rocks really are gorgeous; they look like taffy! What a fun place to take your nephew--I'm sure you have the reputation as the "cool aunt" in your family!
ReplyDeleteGosh, Dawn, you're harder to keep up with than Waldo! (Where's Dawn???)
ReplyDeleteI love all the southwest desert but Red Rock is particularly lovely. Great photos - though I may have to close my eyes for the rocking climbing tomorrow.
Stunning pictures!!
ReplyDeleteI love Red Rock Canyon. Ever so much more interesting than the casinos. My tee shirt dyed with red rock is getting pale. I need to go back for another one.
ReplyDeletePS I'm NOT a rock climber at all!
Great photos of Andrew having a great time in the rocks! Beautiful landscape!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Is that a park close to Las Vegas? I love the striped red rocks.
ReplyDeleteHOWDEE ALL!

@NCmountainwoman
Darn...would have sent one to you if I had gotten to these comments sooner..I dont recall any tied dyed tshirts...must have changed their design.
It is great if a young guy is fond of hiking
