Looks like 114 here in Vegas for the 4th. I may end up having a date with a good book or DVD.

Same here Robert, it is supposed to be 114. We will do an early AM bike ride and then La Dolce Far Niente, one of my favorite arts.

What are we doing for the 4th? Well, we haven't waited and have been doing it. A couple of days ago................;



just the tip of the iceberg in the land of the spirits and distilled light.

Deanda and I are leaning towards a hike up Haunted Canyon, possibly as an overnighter.

Threedogz, that was courtesy of the magic of the Colorado Plateau, the Navajo sandstone, a red lichen that likes the setting and the endless vaulting skies. Two days and two long loops, the first with high clouds to add volume and the second, above, with some beautiful cumulus that make such a three dimensional effect in the blue skies. All under a coolish 89 degrees even at mid-day.

No forests when I go, mountains only as a backdrop, just put me somewhere out on the Plateau a place of endless and glorious days, strange and wonderful nights, mesas and canyons remote and blindingly beautiful.

The clouds definitely add to the image. A nice peaceful place to unwind. I'm going to have to get out there someday.

Thanks for sharing!

Time honored tradition for those who live near A mountain in Tucson. They'll shoot off a big fireworks display which those in the neighborhood will see close up. Tucson Fire Dept will be nearby and we will have all our garden hoses hooked up. They usually manage to set the mountain and sometimes nearby areas on fire. I'll sit outside in my lawn chair at ready. With a few cold ones.

I sit high over the Las Vegas Valley. From my place the valley looks like a boiling caldron when all the casinos, the mom and pop places and the neighborhoods kids start with the fireworks. There will be fires everywhere that night.
I hiked at 10,000 feet all day today and it was in the upper 80's there. When I got home at 6PM I ha two thermometers that read 112.3 degrees. It's supposed to be hotter on the 4th. I was supposed to go to the cost this week but several things interfered. I then planned on doing a pretty serious photo shot of the local parks fireworks but if it's 115 at 9PM I'll be eatin' Reeses and watchin' DVDs.

"I'm melting!"...and not because someone threw water on me. (Yeah I know, I'm a whimp when it comes to triple digits). I'm heading for higher ground and BIG trees. Maybe even a lake or two depending which trail I take.
