Journey to Colorado, Stop 1

We left for Colorado on Sunday May 13, Mother's Day. We drove about 260 miles to Mojave National Preserve and stayed the night at Mitchell Caverns campground. This area is beautiful in person, pictures don't do it justice. But you do have to look for it - we only saw a handful of birds, a couple lizards and some very large ants. Some cactus were in bloom. It was already pretty hot there - about 95 degrees F. We took a walk out to where the caverns are but couldn't wait around for the 1:30 tour the next day. On to the Grand Canyon!
