On 02/21/2018 Bob Croke, Jim Herring, Ron Ziance, and I drove to the Aliante Pkwy location to enter the Tule Springs Archaeological Site in the TUSK National Monument in search of the trenches dug during the "big dig". As we entered the monument, we headed out across the barren Las Vegas Wash in a north westerly direction. Once we reached the power line we turned west until we encountered what we thought look liked a large trench that ran north to south. Though we never found any fossils, we did find some seashells and snails. Click her for more pictures and a description ... Tule Springs Archaeological Site (TUSK) - Trip Notes for 02/21/2018).

On 02/12/2018 Jim Herring, Blake Smith, Connie and myself decided to have a picnic in the park.Even though I have visited this park more than a half dozen times, this is the first time I've come for a 'picnic' in the winter. It was sunny and near 70, but the winds made it feel colder. The picture left is where we picnicked. When then stolled around the park taking pictures of the birds, ducks, geese, peacocks and rabbits. Click here for more pictures and to read about this visit ... Floyd Lamb Park.

Daytrip - South Cove, Arizona

Click to Enlarge

On 02/08 Harvey Smith, Bob Croke, Jim Herring and I took a ride to South Cove in Arizona for a picnic and day of hiking. The Pierce Ferry Road to South Cove and Pierce Ferry Landing is 52 miles long, starting from US 93 half way between the Hoover Dam and Kingman. This interesting drive passes by much dramatic scenery and several places of interest.
Beyond the town of Doland Springs the road climbs into the White Hills and then across the Hualapai Valley as you enter one of the largest stands of Joshua trees you will ever encounter. At South Cove there is a picnic area with covered picnic tables, grills and stone outhouses, and a boat launch. This cove is located in the middle of an area of Lake Mead known as the Gregg Basin and has some of the best water at the east end of Lake Mead. Glass conditions are almost guaranteed in the morning and expected in the late afternoon due to its protection from the surrounding mountains.

My NEW Book - Rock Art of Nevada's Great Basin

Well, I did it again. I decided to write another picture book highlighting some of my favorite petroglyph sites. With 92 pages and more than 85 pictures, this book focuses on 26 of the best petroglyph sites in Nevada's Great Basin. It also provides discussions on rock art, terminology, dating processes, preservation, recording, and rock art as a language. Its purpose is to entice readers to visit and explore the historic locations described within its pages. A description for each destination, plus information on special points of interest and directions to their locations are provided for each destination. Detailed information is provided by links to my Internet site.
