Oasis in the Desert

Mesquite AZ

IN WHAT SEEMS LIKE THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, A LOVELY TOWN SPRINGS UP FROM THE DESERT replete with green grass, shiny casinos and lo, a Super WalMart.  We have not been to Walmart yet as we are pooped.  We are settled in Solstice, a motorhome private campground.  They got lost in the economy and lucky us, we get to stay here.  I will get out and take pictures tomorrow.  It was cold last night and up to 70 today, and VERY dry.

GOOD THINGS HERE include 80 stations of free cable, good wifi, and free laundry.  It ticked all my boxes.  We had lunch in one of the casinos today.  It was in a bowling alley inside the casino.  I won a hot dog in a drawing so, guess we will have to go back for that tasty morsel.

THIS IS A TOWN OF 20,000 SOULS and pretty much the same size as the town we left in Oklahoma.  That is about all that is the same.  There are six beautiful golf courses and a large Del Webb retirement community.  Not to mention, many casinos.

BOO BOO is strangely quiet.  He seems to be eating okay.  He just wants to sleep all the time.  Herb thinks he has altitude sickness.  He acts like a depressed cat.  Guess he misses all he porch buddies from the lake.  I am sure they miss us.  Poor Kitties.  More to Come,  C, H, and Boo too
