We hiked 3 miles to a Palm Oasis - an amazing sight in the middle of the hot arid desert.  We had several people stop us on the way, incredulous we would bring a baby on the hike, worried she was getting burned up by the sun.  I appreciated their concern, but our little babe was just fine!

See the palms, on the right?  Amazing.

We stopped to relax and rest and cool down.  Unfortunately, my camera battery died after this shot.

Luckily, a couple took these two photos with their phone and emailed me!

 People we encountered saw Bighorn Sheep.  We struck out.  We made it out by 4, had pizza at a little cafe, then headed to Vegas.  We stopped at a McD playland, and Charley played with 3 little Latino boys for nearly 2 hours.  We arrived in Vegas and crashed out.
