We didn't leave right away. In the morning we went to check out some view point on the lake Mead and verified that there are no constructions all around. It's beautiful and pristine!
On the way back we stopped at the Hemenway Harbor, and met people from the Audubon society of Las Vegas. In the harbor there were some giant carp swimming around. They were waiting for a hand out since they had their heads out of the water with open mouths. It was ridiculous. They seem to want to get out and start walking for a piece of bread.
Sure enough two young guys came over with bags, gingerly passing a sign that warned people not to feed the wild life.
Driving from Nevada into Arizona, the scenery changes from stark grey mountains with sporadic creosote and brittle bushes to red colored mesas accentuated by large saguaro cactus and mesquite trees.
At two third of the way to Phoenix, we reached an area covered in mature Joshua trees, larger than the one in Joshua Tree National Park in California. These were as big as small oak trees. I like Arizona! This desert is colorful.
