City in the desert

What can I say about Vegas...I'm glad we're camped outside of the city. You can still see the glow at night though, and from the top of some of the peaks you can clearly see the city (though it's clouded in haze in this picture).

Jocelyn and I saw Cirque du Soleil on Saturday, I'm still amazed. The performers were incredible, amazing feats from trapeze to strength and balance demonstrations. The stage moved up and down, live music, and a bit of comedy mixed in. I got pulled up on stage and locked in a cage while the clown took my seat to flirt with Jocelyn, and then they spun the cage around to show me! After I got wheeled backstage, and had a brief chance to look around. Quite a show!

We're leaving here in the next few days to drive to Joshua Tree national park in southern California, planning on climbing there for a week or so. Then it's time to head back north, then east. Having a blast though, I'll update as available...
