Raven's Roads
Living an interesting life: the travels and musings
of motorcycling author Linda R. Moore

I said that ten miles down the road would have been a nicer place to stay. Here’s why: the little oasis, put together by the Mormon farmers before the state boundaries were changed and they had to move on.

Under Lake Mead near here are a bunch of ruins from an advanced ancient society. All that remains of it is the Lost City museum, also at Overton.

Then I went to Valley of Fire state park. Name doesn’t need any explanation, right? ;-) It was pretty easy to see where it was by the flame of red through the otherwise dusty and monochrome desert.

I climbed a ladder to visit these 4000 year old, awesome petroglyphs that are placed rather a long way up the side of a giant rock. There is a design that is unique to this area–the little man holding the spear, or atlatl. Hence, Atlatl Rock.

I felt dizzy up on the little catwalk for viewing them.
