Mount Charleston

With a forcasted high of 112 in the valley we fled into the mountains this afternoon where it was only in the mid-80s. Cool enough to tunr off the ac and roll down the windows to enjoy the lovely mountain air. We hoped to hang out at the picnic area across the street from the ski lodge at the top of the mountain but it has already closed for the season. We did get to stretch our legs,buy some junk food and snap some pictures with Smokey at the visitor's center.
