Vegas Bob can't even to begin to think what Las Vegas Nevada was like 81 years ago! This license plate may have belonged to a farmer, mafia kingpin, worker at AREA 51 or who knows.
It would be interesting to find out who's license plate this was that sits at the museum at "Valley of Fire" in Nevada.

Here are a couple of photographs about what it was like hundreds of years ago before technology swept the United States of America. Before the Airplane, Car, Train, Television, Phone, Computers, Record Player, Refrigerator, Microwave, Washer, Dryer, Shower, Sinks, Windows, Doors and so much more.
So many people in this country take so many things for "Granted" and we are very "Lucky" to have the things we have so ...
"Please Stop Complaining" and ENJOY LIFE ... ;o)

Vegas Bob was touring "Valley of Fire" only 50 minutes from Las Vegas Nevada with my brother and his family, and look who we ran into ...
Elvin and the Chipmunks!
Temperatures reached around 110 degrees, though VB is accustom to hiking in very HOT temperatures my brothers younger children weren't.
And by the looks of these photographs neither was Elvin and his friends!
When my brother's children called me over to look at Elvin & Friends, I started laughing trying to figure out what these creatures were up to.
There were hundreds of these Chipmunks and many of them were in the shade lying on their belly's cooling down from the extreme temperatures ... it was quite a sight to see ... ;o)

Valley of Fire in Nevada is around 60 miles from Las Vegas Nevada and is a must see. I have been there many times and it's always a thrill to look for new areas I haven't seen. I have quite a few photos to show because I want you to get a real feel for the area.
If you really like the photos and want to see more I can post a (part two)!
There are many red rock formations like the photo above.
Above are Petroglyphs from many years ago.
Wild flowers are blooming everywhere, please let me know if you would like to view more.
These flowers above are around the size of a dime and very hard to capture.
This little friend in the photo above looked over at me and said "Hello Vegas Bob how are you today?" This lizard is only 3 inches long and they are running around everywhere and also very hard to capture
This photo above is looking east towards Utah.
The photo is looking west towards Las Vegas.
When ever you take a vacation and have some wonderful photographs please feel free to join this group .......
MY VACATIONS AT ACTIVERAIN or some of my other groups so we can all enjoy your photographs together.
