Lots of Gamboling Going on in Vegas!


Nope, that's not a typo in the title.  To gambol means to skip about in play, to romp, rollick, frolic, revel.  We're at Red Rock Canyon just a very few minutes outside of Las Vegas.  This would be my kinda gambling if I were 10 or 15 years younger.  It's free, and no one is smoking.  And, at least while they're on the rocks, no one is drinking.  We've seen entire families with kids probably 6 years old and up, out here gamboling around learning to rock climb.

Seriously, it is incredibly beautiful all around Las Vegas.  This is the road out to Red Springs and to Red Rock.


You can study clouds or geology or fresh air and sunshine. 




Red Springs is a quick stop just before Red Rock Canyon.  It's basically on the back side of the climbing wall in the first photo.  Amazingly, the ground is too soggy to walk on - and besides, wandering tourists would quickly trample the oasis of grass and other flora - so they have built a wonderful boardwalk.

What's this I see lurking in the bushes?  One has to have a sharp eye to pick out God's critters!


It's easy to see why they call them cottontails!



Isn't he precious!  Love the eyebrow treatment.  Yup, if I was a wabbit I'd live at Red Springs!
