...along comes Red Rock Canyon.
After a slow start this morning, we headed to Red Rock Canyon State Park for a number of short walks to take in the flora and fauna and to explore some very impressive rock formations! Sam and Theo were slightly more interested in light saber battles to be honest, but enjoyed scrambling over the rocks, while Mae pottered along with her purple unicorn. The rock faces were other-worldly, and we thought they looked like some form of alien accommodation.
Fortification followed in the form of very fine milkshakes at Mike's Roadside Cafe in Mojave, before an evening of games - Set and Bananagrams. Mae is still not asleep at 9:40pm, due to an untimely nap today, oh dear. We now prepare for a LONG journey back home to Menlo Park tomorrow.
Interesting fact: In 1840, the last few survivors of an expedition across Death Valley, staggered through Red Rock Canyon. Thankfully, our journey has been much more pleasurable.
