VEGAS DAY SEVEN November 17, 2020

Exploration Peak (2,846’)

Up early again, I had a doctor’s appointment for today. To make sure I’d take the call, I had breakfast at home by takeout. Dawdling in front of my computer, I killed time mostly getting the news and watching You Tube videos. Finally, the time came for the chat, and the nurse-practitioner called. This went fine, as I had my drivers license secured, and needed no more forms to be filled out. I’m having fun, with hiking and dining every day. The chat was short, and we set another appointment for next year.

To get my daily exercise, I did a search, and found a hike to do. Taking the car, I zoomed out to the trailhead for Exploration Peak. An easy walk to the top, I used the facility and started my hike. It took no time at all to get to the summit. I had great views, and started down with a few hikers about. Back to the car, I had to use the restroom again, and figuring on food, did another search.

A ramen place was close by, so I followed the car navigator directions, and lo and behold, there was a nice place open. Scanning a bar code, the menu appeared on my phone, so I ordered the best that they had. Also with dessert, I had my fill of lunch. The eatery was crowded, so I may be at risk from infection, as I was maybe less than six feet away from other patrons.

Trying to limit my exposure time to under 15 minutes, I gobbled the ramen down, and used the restroom. Tipping okay, the bill came to $18 even. Leaving to head for home, I’d count this peak as it’s worthy. Good views and an easy hike. For a Tuesday, plenty of other hikers.

Home, it was to load the movie clips (604.5 MB 1:33)*, and then to post the photos. Another nice day in Las Vegas!

**Please use Chrome or Firefox as your browser to view the movie clips. 1 Gbps download speed or optimal 5G (some carriers allow for use as a personal hotspot) highly recommended. Most 4K video, so expect slow loading for slower download speeds, please let it load before playing. This may take minutes or longer for each video, so please be patient.
