Day 126: Lake Mead NRA, Day 1

This morning, our son and I got up early and scouted for a better spot.  Government Wash has about 25 RVs parked there, and we’d like a site right near the water so we can go kayaking.  We walked along the shore to the east.  Here’s the view back towards Government Wash:

We crossed an unnamed wash on the way back:

Government Wash has a boat ramp, but it’s now about half a mile from shore.  The water level is down quite a bit since the construction of the ramp:

Here’s a view from the ramp towards the lake:

After breakfast, we moved the RV to its new spot:

Not too shabby, right?

We of course had to test our ability to launch kayaks at our new site:

This seagull had become entangled in fishing line.  After chasing him around on shore, I managed to get some clothing over him while Trish cut the line.  He seems to be better now:
