Rachel, NV to Cathedral Gorge State Park....awesome!

We left the campground about 1000 this am and arrived at the campground at Cathedral Gorge about 1230..just in time to make some lunch and enjoy the incredible view!  

From the campground Highway 375


Joshua trees..love them!  


The drive here was beautiful!  Hardly any cars on the road at all!  Such incredible beautiful scenery!  I know people don't understand our love for Nevada and honestly the pictures don't do it justice..but I love the lack of people in most places (Reno and Las Vegas excluded)..but the beauty that is here is just so amazing...love watching the scenery change. 

 The little town of Caliente, NV ...we both said "we could live here"..so beautiful, just too far away from the grandkids...

So here we are at the campground enjoying the view.  We took a walk over to the gorge itself and looked into some of the hoodoos, which remind us both so much of Bryce Canyon in Utah.  Different but still the same..some even look like Antelope Canyon in Az only not so expensive and you go at your own pace..
From our campsite the walk to day use..this was an old water tower the
CCC built to gravity feed water..the water was too high in alkali
so it was only operational for a few years..

Inside the cathedral caves!  I have many more pics
that I will post later!  They are incredible!! 

The weather is something else too..Clear blue skies, then we watched it change to cloudy and it looks like rain, but who knows because the weather changes every 5 minutes or so...love it!  

The internet is so slow...I will have to update pictures later ..and I have many! but just wanted to post an idea of what we are seeing from our rear dining window!  

Eric and Family are in Santa Clara with Tim (who as a teen stayed with us for a couple of years)..and his little family to watch Supercross...Tomorrow Eric turns 40!! Amazing how the years go by!  

Tomorrow we have walk to take to an overlook and then check out a few other campgrounds.  We'll b here in our spot for another night.
