We head out for Echo Bay on the Overton Arm of Lake Mead.  There is no view of the lake from Northshore Road but rolling hills and majestic cliffs; sometimes muted tones other times vivid red, stretch out in both directions.  Stark, but beautiful.   Somebody has built miles and miles of desert tortoise fence along here!  Amazing.

We woke to rain on the roof

I love the sound and the smell. It is cool too, 50F.  I must admit we slept in a bit.
