The plan for the morning was a hike. Phil, Sharon and I headed into the Lake Mead National Recreation Park. We hiked the White Owl Canyon trail. We had intended to do a loop, but got to a spot in the slot canyon that would have been difficult for Sharon to get up. I made a tactical error scouting ahead and probably should have pushed us to keep going. We ended up doing an out and back.
The three of us covered 3.4 miles in a little under two hours. It was very different terrain. I was surprised at the number of small shells. The area must have been covered by the lake at some point.
After the hike, we had a late lunch at the Sonrisa Grill (enchiladas and tostada salad) in the Village at Lake Las Vegas. Getting back to their house, we had a lazy afternoon. We talked about kayaking on the lake, but decided to bag. Sharon took a nap. Eventually, we all ended up in the hot tub.
Getting cleaned up, we headed to dinner at Hank’s Fine Steaks & Martinis. The restaurant is part of the Green Valley Ranch resort. I was shocked at the number of people.
We had a nice leisurely dinner. I had a lobster chowder, while Marlene, Phil and Sharon shared some calamari. For entrees, I had a New York strip steak, while Sharon had a filet migon.
The four of us finished the night on their deck exploring our personal histories. It was almost 11 pm by the time I crawled upstairs and crashed.
