CITY OF LIGHTS AND MANY OTHER THINGS

DRIVING TOWARD LAS VEGAS is a real change for us Okie flatlanders.  Our Class C motor home seems to be climbing the hills like a proud little RV.  We occasionally get passed by a fiver or a big hulking motorhome.  Our rig gets 7 to 8 miles to the gallon.  Herb stays between 55 and 60 and we get the 7 to 8 regardless of the terrain.  We drove over the Hoover dam on the new road they have constructed.  The GPS just went into space.  Guess it needs its yearly update.

SETTLED IN THE HITCHING POST for one night took us through LV and headed us north for our final driving leg to Mesquite.  Boo Boo has been acting a little strange.  We decided that since he rides in his carrier that he has a bit of altitude sickness and maybe dizzy from the many mountain curves.  He has been an angel of a black cat and just seems to adjust to the changes with catlike grace.

JUST HAD TO CHECK OUT THE BUFFET WORLD which used to be eat on the cheap on LV.  We were about a mile north of downtown LV and decided to go to the Main Street Station.  We had eaten at the buffet there some years ago and remembered that it was good.  As we stood in line to get Player's club cards, a nice guy told us about free coupons he had printed from the internet.  The nice lady at the desk told us she had some that someone had left.  So, the buffet was almost free and delicious.  We were really pooped after 5 days of all day driving so, we headed back to the rig.

PICTURES TO COME LATER as this is the first park with "great" wifi.  Actually a nice intown park with amenities.  I am hoping to settle out of city center.  We head for Mesquite today.  More to come....C, H, and Boo too
