Headed to our Sat AM IP weigh in. DW lost 4lbs in wks.  It shows.  I put on a lb.  Grrr.

Then... we had breakfast at our favorate breakfast place and headed out to see 7 Magic Mountains. A desert art installation. After we scoped it out, it was our usual get lost and see new stuff day.

We headed SW on I-15.  Then headed toward Nipton.  Had a beautiful heavy rain storm in the desert. Heading throufh the Mojave Preseve on the Joshua Tree Highway.  About a third of the way we cut onto the Power Line Road. A great Jeep trail.  With all of the recent desert rain there were amazing wild flowers. Blues, yellows, oranges, purples, whites.  Small ones, big cactus blooms.  Joshua trees everywhere.

3.5 hours of banging around in the rocky desert later.... we headed into Boulder City for a late lunch.  After lunch we drove through the Lake Mead Recreation area to see of the water in the lake has come up discernably. Nope, it is up about 4 feet. Not enough to make a difference visually.

DW commented repeatedly about the great day.

Mission accomplished.

She smiled and crushed on the desert flowers all day long.

Have a great weekend STalkers.
