Valley Of Fire, Nevada!

Back to the toasty desert!  My miniature representative, took stroll in the heat.  The Valley of Fire, is an amazing place!  The red rocks, the formations, the trails…this place is sun baked cool!

Yeah, he’s there!  Just above the “e” in fire.

The sand in this area was just deep enough to make it super hard to walk.  Add to that, the sand was super heated and you’ll soon realize, you need to stand on the rocks more than hanging on the trail.

One thing to remember about being in the desert is, remember the suntan lotion and chap-stick!  Below is an example of what can happen! It’s almost a public service announcement!

Success!

Myrtle Beach, is located in an area known as, the Grand Strand.  The Strand, encompasses a group of beaches. North Myrtle Beach, Atlantic Beach, Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, and Pawleys Island and I’m sure more!

If you are a golfer, you will LOVE this area!  The Strand, has more golf courses per capita ,than  any other beach in the world!

Thanks for taking me with you, Phil!

The Grand Canyon

Mini-Shawn made it to the Grand Canyon!  One of my personal “Bucket list” places!
