After falling and twisting her ankle, then being stuck in the Wanderer for 4 days with a swollen, aching ankle, Leslie was getting shack wacky! We decided to escape the heat of the city for a few hours. After getting a Mexican Food Sunday fix, we drove up to Mount Charleston in Spring Mountains National Recreation Area just north of Las Vegas. It was also Fathers Day, so there were a lot of families having picnics on the mountain. We drove the loop through the small town of Mt. Charleston and also up to Lees Canyon (a ski resort). The temperatures were in the mid 80s. The area is very pretty with lots of beautiful trees (with cactus mixed in). After enjoying the views into the valleys below, we reluctantly head back down. The temperature back at the Wanderer was 116F!
