Yesterday our family went to the Springs Preserve which is right in the heart of our city. In fact, it is less than a mile from where I went to high school
The Springs Preserve actually sits where Las Vegas geologically began in prehistoric times. We were once under the ocean. As the ocean began to diminish aquifers began to form. From these aquifers the water began to percolate to the surface and VOILA, Las Vegas.
They have done such a wonderful job at this preserve to bring history to life. I hope some of our tourists will go and visit this treasure.
If they do they will see botanical gardens, a wild life habitat and much more. The short story movies that have been created clearly summarize the transformation of this lush territory until it became a desert.
