I hope you find the "m...Welcome, John and Pam,<br />I hope you find the "muse" here tolerable... :))<br /><br />On Valley of Fire:<br /><br />It is AMAZING... but it needs sunlight to be at its colorful peak. So check the forecast as it's pretty dark with rain clouds up north for a while.<br /><br />They don't allow off paved road jeeping in the park proper. But the campground is great... full hookups if you want them for 10 bucks extra per night. <br /><br />Also, I don't think they allow rock collecting... but check with the ranger as I'm not sure about that... if not, Maybe photos will do?<br /><br />And, I try not to blab "special places" on the internet. If everyone does that there will be nothing left untracked and quiet. So drop me an email and I'll pass along some info... after I frisk and swear you to secrecy :)) Hit me up at: mej4@mac.com Box Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-28665991554192532292013-01-26T12:47:34.157-07:002013-01-26T12:47:34.157-07:00The pictures from Valley of Fire are amazing!

Other blog friends have recommended your site, what a perfect time to look you up. We have decided to change our plans and bag heading to Phoenix and instead head to Vega and the Valley of Fire! Would you mind sharing the trails off the beaten path that the Wise Ones shared with you?!

Where!<br /><br />Pam and Wayne,<br />That was a big lizard :)<br /><br />Cheshire Cat,<br />Early morning or late afternoon... that is when the color explodes, alright... unless it's cloudy.<br /><br />Howlyn,<br />My pleasure... believe me :) Nevada's V of F is worth returning to... and again, Other V of F's?<br /><br />Gaelyn,<br />The incongruent variety and color of rock is part of the attraction, for sure. The seams didn't look like the quartz I'm use to seeing, it was hard tho... just not whitish... thanks. I'll keep working on the answer. I did snuggle up the some "waves" :) They recharged my batteries.<br /><br />Gayle,<br />Oh no! Jobs have a way of doing that. I bet your "hitch" (wheels) are getting itchy. Hang in there, and travel vicariously with the BCB until you get rolling again... then I will travel with you :))<br /> <br />Geo and Suz,<br />You won't regret it!! thanks.<br /><br />Meow Momma,<br />I did not wet the rocks... but is is as if they were wet, almost like they had a clear lacquer coat applied to them. I must have missed the shark! I'll go look again. Good Eye!<br /><br />Laverne,<br />Moody Blues... another great group. Remember Tuesday Afternoon? I digress<br />Mom was one of a kind... they broke the mold...<br />I have used the ice cream analogy to death... so I went with Crayons this time. But you are right :)<br />Swirled Soft Serve...<br />thanks!<br /><br />Travel Bug,<br />Thanks :)<br />You will need lots of film in V of F :) <br />We did not get to the tanks this time as we had been there done that and the parking lot was FULL. It's hard to pee in a slot canyon with that many people! Still a cool hike tho<br /><br />Nina,<br />You will love the campground too... a choice between hook ups and dry camping... all set among red rocks. Here's a tip tho, if you are there when it's cooler... avoid the spaces where red rock blocks winter sun. Thanks for commenting...<br /><br />Wiseone Suz,<br />We were in your footsteps, I'm sure :)) and do appreciate your tips!!!!!!! I almost wore out my camera. It's funny how food analogies are popular when trying to describe geology of V of F... :) thanks... see ya soon I hope.<br /><br />Teri,<br />You are welcome... thanks for explaining my mood away :) Like I'm not responsible for it :)) Thanks for being a "regular" here... I appreciate your comments and thoughts.<br /><br />Jim of Jim and Gayle,<br />It is our motto... "Go Further!" Looking forward to seeing you on the road again soon, Thanks!!!<br /><br />Scamper,<br />Indeed... "it" might even be a hologram...<br />thanks, enjoy the V of the S. ::) Still heading south... so much to see and explore and so little time.<br />thanks<br />markBox Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-83268290423420920902013-01-25T20:14:03.249-07:002013-01-25T20:14:03.249-07:00Nothing is as it "seams"!

Nada soul out there except for us and the froggies when we hiked around and up and down and over yander cause there was always something intriguing just poking over.

Great catch.<br /><br />I also enjoy six other photos as much as your "swirl" photo.<br /><br />Looks like a place we'd enjoy exploring...if it's not too hot.<br /><br />I've been to Valley of Fire once with my mother- and sister-in-law. They don't walk very far. Bummer.
