Internet At Last

CONNECTIVITY IS A BLESSED GIFT, especially when you have been without for it at least a week.  This park has wifi reception right down the middle of the park, but not on the sides.  We are now in the middle and we are nicely connected again.

THIS IS A NEW TERRAIN FOR US as we are used to trees and grass growing naturally and usually in abundance.  This summer was the exception in Oklahoma as the drought kept it dry and the grass just didn't grow.  Here it is very moonlike and beautiful in a different sort of way.  The buttes and rock formations are a real change for us flatlanders.  When the wind goes to the north here, the sand just blows around.

LAS VEGAS VISITED yesterday as we visited the Camping World stores.  It is a busy city that has weathered the bad economy in the best way it can.  There is new construction and many vacant buildings.  The Strip is just another world away from the life of most of the people in LV.  Many of the work in the industry and it seems to be weathering the storm.

MESQUITE NEVADA is an interesting town with three large Casinos, a population of 20,000 and one Super WalMart.  The are six world class golf courses and a LOT of retired folks.  There is a large Del Webb retirement community to the west of the city.  You wonder how people find this place.  It its located on the main route from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas to Los Angeles.  Interstate 15 is a busy freeway.  The town has suffered from the economy as one large casino complex has closed.  The other three seem busy and we find the food to be priced reasonably and very good.

MORE TO COME in the way of pictures.  C, H, and Boo too  PS  The cat is feeling much better now.
