West Adventure

I had an adventurous week....come on have a tour with me! Ready?

27







First stop: Salt Flatts in Salt Lake City, Utah. Last time we were here there was water and I thought it was a lake. Apparently it was a Flatts covered with salt, and when it rain the flatts floods and it covered with a few inches of water. After awhile the water evaporates and leaves behind the WOrld famous Bonneville Salt Flatts! This is where they test race cars and many land speed records were set here!!

1 2 3 4 Second Stop: Reno, Nevada. I always wanted to go to downtown Reno at night, and the opportunity finally came however we could not stay long coz it was night and many weirdos coming out lol. All I wanted was to take a picture of the Reno Arch Sign at night coz there are so many lights and look so cool. I still don't get the sign though, "The Biggest Little City In The World" . What is that suppose to mean ? my lil mind is confused hehehehe just kidding!!!









5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 Third Stop: Mt. Rose Summit. Oh my gosh the road coming up here was scary.... it's very curvy and right the edge by the mountain.... kumbaga pampang hehehe if you were driving and your looking down it seems you were flying. I started to have motion sickness... thankfully we arrived at the summit safe and sound! nalipong lang ko gamay hehehe. We were 9,000 ft. above sea level but the top of Mountain Rose is more than 10,000 ft. above sea level. We started to climb on the trail but it was 2.6 miles walk, we didn't even make it to the top of the mountain hahaha we got winded so easily coz we are not in shape, and the air was thinner coz we were in a high elevation. This place is good for hikers!!!



16 17 19 Fourth Stop: Lake Tahoe, in the side of Nevada. It's just beautiful as I imagine in Summer time. When we were first came here, it was winter. It was Magical, very enchantingly beautiful. But on summer its more green around, and the water was sparkling, very clear blue... Breathtaking!!!!! This is my favorite place in the world!!!!!!



18 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 Fifth stop: Mono lake in California : First time we came here was winter so this whole place was covered with snow, it looks like winter wonderland. We were on top of the hill, overlooking the Mono Lake....



37 38 39 40 41 Sixth stop: Sierra Nevada Mountains, this place was surrounded with bald mountains... and many cattle grazing on the meadows. Wheres the cowboys at?





42 43 44 46 50 49 45 Seventh stop: Mount Whitney the tallest mountain in the US.

White Sands National Monument

Photobucket

It's been an interesting day today!. We spent the whole day in White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. It was blazingly hot, we got sunburn. Other than that we had a lot of fun, taking pictures and videos, walking on the sand, although it was blazing, surprisingly the sand was cool.... because it was white and doesn't absorbed the heat! It was like in Dubai Desert, only the sand was white. The sand so white it looks a lot like snow, the temperature that day was well over a 100 degrees plus the sunlight reflecting off the sand! yeah you can imagine, I started to see mirages!!!!!! There some picnic areas in the middle of the Sand Dunes, people are having barbecues, family gatherings, children were having fun sliding down on the slope. Anywho, here are my photos, hope you like it!!! Enjoy!!!!

Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Photobucket
Welcome to the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ Ministries
and the marvelous story of what God is doing through this 19 story cross located on Interstate 40 at Groom, Texas. Construction of the
cross frame was done in two shops in Pampa, Texas by more than 100 welders and erected in July of 1995. Truly, all things are possible for those who believe.


Millions of people have come from all over the world to view the bronze sculptures of Jesus' journey to the Cross. The
cross would weigh 1,250 tons or 2 1/2 million pounds.
