Las Vegas

Or "Lost Wages", as my uncle calls it. Left Wilderness yesterday and ovenighted in a casino parking lot at Primm on the border of California and Nevada. Long steady climb along I-15N but at least we didn't ker-thunk, ker-thunk all the way!!!! California roads for the most part are horrible!! It went down to -5*C but the furnace in the trailer kept us cozy and warm even if it did run a lot during the night!!! We had the slide-out in so there was less space to heat. This morning was bright and sunny.

We were in the casino last night and the machine gobbled up my $5 in no time flat so I tried another maching, put $1 into it (it was a penny machine) and ended up getting $13.09 out of it. This morning we went back into the casino, found the same machine. No one had played it since last night so I put $2 in and it gobbled it up...time to get out of here!!! You can tell these casinos were very profitable at one time but with so many Indian casinos popping up all over the place and with the recession, the casinos in Nevada are really hurting. Got to the park with no problems, although B did have to make a u-turn....a very common practice in California and it seems in Nevada as well.

The sites in this park are sure a lot smaller than where we've been, but everything about the park is smaller! Lovely park though, nice and clean and well kept. Good thing is I can access the internet from the trailer...no more toting my lap top up to the club house with my luggage tote. Went for a walk this afternoon and ended up at Bolder Station a beautifulifully designed and built casino, played for awhile. There were several resturants in there as well as a Burger King and Dairy Queen. Didn't feel like having a meal so decided to have an ice cream sundae instead...it was yummy!!!!!
