Heading To Lake Mead
Originally uploaded by Maitri

Headed to Las Vegas for the first time this weekend: not quite my cup of tea, but those without cars cannot always choose their weekend destinations.

I snagged a copy of a Nevada roadside geology guide for good measure and hope to get out to Lake Mead for some fishing (for the boy) and photography. I'm hoping to see sandstone formations and a glimpse of the volcanic cones scattered behind the lake... but we'll see how interested my silly boy companions are in leaving The Strip.
