(Spider Alert)
It is also a great summer home for thousands of Orb Weaver spiders. The flies and other insects that hatch from the lake provide a great food source for these large spiders so they are very abundant in the summer months. (Here is a news piece done about the spiders from 2007 by the KLAS-TV news)
I was really excited to find the spiders. When we stopped I had no idea they were even there. I make Joel get out of the car to come and look. Once you saw them you could see them everywhere in the landscape. It was probably the coolest thing I saw to photograph on the whole trip!
I think there one of the spiders food sources was these damsel flies. They were everywhere too!
We finally made it to Las Vegas. I thought the drive was pretty pleasant. The roads were very smooth and there was very little traffic.
Joel's family likes to stay in Down Town Las Vegas at the California Club. We played a little bit of slots with Grandma Chiz.
We found the Iron Man slot machine and played it in honor of Jen. We lost.
I did win playing black jack. I left the take with $35. (I stated with $20)
Spoilers: That is the only positive outcome of the meager gambling Joel and I did in Vegas.
