Rock Fossils On 09/29/2011, while on a hiking trip with the rock-hounds from the Henderson Heritage Park Senior Center, I was walking a wash along the western side of the access road up near Lovell Canyon, when I found a fossilized rock specimen with several conical-like shells imbedded within it.

Lovell Canyon Trail Today I took a hike to Lovell Canyon with the rock hounds from the Henderson Heritage Park Senior Center. Because this was the second time this year that we visited this area, I just made an update the original Lovell Canyon Daytrip page. Probably one of the most exciting things about todays hike was a fossilized rock that I found while walking in the wash. This specimen contained several conical-like sea shells, proof positive that this entire area was once under water.

The AVI Casino in Laughlin, Nevada I finally got around to editing the pictures that I took on our trip to the Strip and Laughlin the week of September 11th. Better late than never. Starting with our stay at the RIO on Sunday, we had a total of 6 free nights, two at the AVI Casino and three at Harrah’s. It was a full week of dining out, going to the movies, sitting by the pool, reading, some TV and, of course, a little gambling. Click here to check out my post for Roadtrip - Laughlin Nevada

Journal Entry For Tuesday, Sept 27th

Tagging In Pitman Wash The Henderson Pittman Wash, which runs right along our northern property boundary line, is an area where hundreds of local residents walk their dogs daily and take regular nature walks, bike rides, and jogs. But over this past weekend (between 9/24-9/25) someone decided to stamp their name all over it, in black spray paint. There was even a swastika painted on a trash can. What looks like a group of at least four taggers defaced walls, trees, park benches, light poles and walkways with gang-style tagging along the .8 mile stretch of this normally tranquil area between Green Valley Parkway and  Valle Verde Drive.
