Off Roading Flop

So last Sunday we attempted to meet up with several other four wheelers to go off- roading, but after driving almost 50 miles the wrong way and getting pulled over for driving too fast through an emergency wreck we ended up home two hours later mad and hot. So we decided to go find our own trail on the other side of Hoover Dam.

 


 

He was so tired he even slept through the bumpy roads.

These are what Cliff likes to call poser pics.
 

 

We don't have a flat it just looks like. I volunteered to get out to take the pic because this sort of stuff scared me.

So ever since I moved to Las Vegas there are signs all around Hoover Dam that say watch our for the long horned goats. I never really believed we would ever see one, much less a heard. In fact when my friend Cheryl was here a couple weeks ago I said to her that is my goal to see one of those suckers before we leave Vegas. Well low and behold we don't just see one we find 10.
 

This guy at first we thought was fake. You know how you see statues of animals here and there. Then all the sudden he moved. I couldn't believe it. So we slow down I climb out the window and take lots of pics of him. Then.......
 

 

We realize there is a whole heard of them.
 


Click on the picture and open up this pic full screen and you can see all of them at the bottome. They just watched us as we cruised by.

They blend in so well.
 

He was having a blast off roading not being in his car seat. Which by the way was more like driving down a dirt road.
 

We picniced.
 

Had a lovely view of the river.
