Monday. Practitioners’ Symposium. Tech update, exploiting opportunities, value, ultimate mobile warrior, social media. Judy and great nephew Jake had lunch and a nice long visit. He has a semester at UNLV under his belt and is working and saving, looking forward to getting back in school in September. Happy Birthday Jake. He turned 21!
Sunday. Put all the outside covers and shades on the coach. Pulled down all the interior blinds. Set the air conditioners at 80 degrees. Locked it up and left.
Dropped Annie off at Sleepover Rover, and moved into the Bellagio today. Our view from the room:
Saturday. Prep day. We got ourselves here a day early so we could pack up to leave the coach for a week. Got some work done. Got the rig washed.
Annie gets her Muttlucks on so the asphalt won’t burn her feet.
Friday. We changed time zones but we didn’t change our clocks. Arizona to Nevada. Mountain Standard to Pacific Daylight. No difference.
Another great desert scenic drive. It included a Joshua Tree Forest. We skipped the Hoover Dam road; construction and delays. The bridge bypassing the dam is supposed to be open November of this year. Photo from their website:
It’s about 1,000 feet above the river. Judy says “No f’ing way I’m going over that!”
We’re at Oasis RV Resort. Blazing hot. Triple digits. It hurts to touch anything.
Congress, AZ. An overnight stop. This is where Jeff and Carol get off. They were going to travel with us for a few days, then head back to Gulf Waters to wait until it was time for their summer trip to the Pacific Northwest. We quickly settled into a trip rhythm together, and they decided to scrap the return to the Texas Coast altogether and continue with us this far. For three weeks, we’ve had a great time together. Now Judy and I will head off for the bright lights of Las Vegas. Jeff and Carol will stay and explore more of Arizona before pointing their rig north for the summer.
Not much of a camping spot,
but a great desert garden to walk through.
