Doug and I took a much needed break from the daily routine and went south for the weekend. We joined Jody and Donna Denning and Dan and Lisa Denning for a 4-wheeler trip in Southern Nevada. The Dennings were on a 2 week camping road trip and we joined them for a couple days. We ventured to Logandale, Nevada which is about 45 minutes from Mesquite and near Overton,. The Logandale Trails are near Valley of the Fire State Park. The Dennings have Razrs and we have 4-wheelers, so I was a little concerned about keeping up, but all went well.
The scenery was gorgeous. I love the red, jagged rocks against the blue sky. We saw petroglyphs and mountain goats, cooked out over the fire, and thoroughly enjoyed visiting with good friends. It can’t get much better than that,
On Saturday, Doug and I were a little tired from riding and decided to just go for a pickup ride instead. We followed Lake Mead to Hoover Dam. We wanted to see the new suspension bridge that has been built to span the canyon above the dam. We walked out over the bridge and looked down at the dam below. It is incredibly high and not for anyone with a fear of heights. We also drove over the dam and viewed the bridge. It is amazing to me that people can even think of creating something of that magnitude let alone design, engineer, and actually build it. It is a wonder.
After a detour through Valley of the Fire, the trip was completed with a visit and night spent with Mom and Dad Schwieder. They are in St. George for a month. We watched the Utah Jazz game with them and had a great time before setting off for the return home.
