Hoover Dam

New Bridge over Hover Dam

Laughlin, NV / Bullhead City, AZ - Happy Thanksgiving

Nov 22-Dec 10...We left Pahrump for Laughlin, NV. We parked the motorhome at the Railroad casino out of Henderson and drove the car to the new Hoover Dam bridge. What a site that is! We also drove down to the old bridge to get another view of the bridge. Once in Laughlin we parked the motorhome on the ridge overlooking the casinos. We dry camped for 4 days. It was a very nice view. We went for Thanksgiving dinner at the Riverside Casino Prime Rib room. It was ok but it's just not the same a 'home cookin'. On the 26th we moved to Ridgeview RV park in Bullhead City, AZ. It was nice for a few days and then on the evening of the 30th the wind started to blow and never quit. That first night we had to bring our slides in and from then on we tied down our slide awnings. Bob and Cheryl arrived on the 30th for 8 days. We got together several times for meals, football and cards! Dixie did more haircuts and worked on getting our Christmas photo cards and letters out. We also got our Christmas packages mailed to NC and WA. We stayed inside a lot due to the cool weather and winds. We did go to Joe's Crab Shack on the 9th for lunch. We filled up with propane before leaving the park on the 10th. From there it was a stop at “Smith's” to top off our fuel (had to do that before getting into CA due to $$). Hopefully we won't have to fill up while we are in CA. We ran into some road construction near Vidal Junction but other than that we had a good trip to Indio. We will stay at Indian Waters RV park for 2 nights.

The Guppy Family

Grandkids at the Seattle Aquarium

Pahrump, NV

Nov 2-21 …We were at Preferred RV resort for the first week and then moved the Charleston Peak RV for the next 2 weeks. While there we visited the Winery on Mike's Birthday on the 10th. We started with wine tasting and then had a wonderful dinner in the dinning room. We had a lovely evening. On the 17th we drove to Las Vegas for a flight to Seattle to visit Micheala, Tim and the kids. The flight out of SFO was full so we didn't arrive until late so we got a hotel at the airport and rented a car on Friday and drove to North Bend. While there we went to dinner Friday to celebrate the Oct/Nov birthdays (4 of them). Sat. we went to the Seattle Aquarium with Micheala and the kids. We flew back on Sunday – it was short visit but a good one. While in Pahrump Dixie did some haircuts and we spent time with friends. The weather wasn't great so we didn't get any hiking in.
