Here's Dad out for an early morning walk with Marji at Floyd Lamb Park, just 20 miles from the baking Las Vegas Strip. Henderson was once considered to be far out of town, but like Red Rock Canyon, it's now encroached by development.
But those Las Vegas insiders know all the great secret spots. These ponds are popular for bird watching and there's even public fishing. Trophy monsters like 20 lb catfish have been pulled out of these small desert pools.
The park is centered on Tule Springs, a series of small lakes that formed an ancient oasis in the Mojave Desert. Mammoths, lions and camels and other creatures roamed along wetlands and their fossils can be seen at Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument. We look forward to going there on our next visit.
It's wonderful seeing dad out enjoying himself, and apparently eating Pollo Loco several times a week. We are jealous!
