The night before, after hitting the local bar and then back to the hotel, we ended up hanging out with a group of firemen/ladies who were in town for training on rescue in wilderness environments. It was a blast, and there were even a few from NYC and NJ. Nice cold night, cold beers and good neighbors. So, we awoke, grabbed our coffee and found out that the main highway leading back up to the interstate that runs through Red Rock State Park was closed, due to part of it falling into the canyon... the previous day. Seems like our previous day;s excuriosn on the greatest road on earth was fortuitous! Now we just got to see less.. must come back sometime to see the majesty of those red rocks...
