LAS VEGAS NEVADA

Good Friends...A Good Time...and Good Food.  We had a blast in Las Vegas.  We ran into more friends down from Seattle to see the Frankie Beverly and Maze Concert at the Las Vegas Hilton.  Our evening began with a wonderful dinner at Binehanas Restaurant followed by just an amazing concert.  Maze with Frankie Beverly was worth the trip.  A day after the concert was spent with very nice people and friends from the City.  Donna and Bill lived near the Oasis RV Resort where we stayed.  Beginning with a IHOP delicious breakfast and relaxing the rest of the day was a hit. 

Additional sites of interest were a tour of the M&M Candy Factory and Cactus Farm.  Plus, a drive up and down the Las Vegas strip displayed the brightest lights and a lot of glitter...Amazing...night and day look like two different cities.

TOMORROW MORN BEGINS THE LAST LEG

Five months have come and gone!  Tomorrow morning represents the last leg of our trip before we start home.  We will be leaving Bullhead City, AZ for higher temperatures in Las Vegas.  This leg of the trip is to see the Frankie Beverly and Maize Concert that will be held at the Las Vegas Hilton...what a way to end a great trip.  One other note...it is a small world...we met more friends along the way.  While at the Park here in Bullhead City, Charles and Nanette rolled in to stay at this very RV Resort.  They were able to secure a spot next to Charles and Sonia.  Last night was filled with conversations and football (viewed outside).  Until Las Vegas, talk to you all soon.

Ridgeview RV Resort - BULLHEAD CITY ARIZONA

Well, we are still in Bullhead City, Arizona.  Our location is two miles from Nevada and about six miles from California.  If you get lost you can be in one of three states in a matter of minutes!  Today, like yesterday, was another beautiful 80 degree day.  Our travels took us exploring both Arizona and Nevada.  The top picture was taken on top of the hill at the RV Resort in Arizona looking down on Nevada.  The bottom picture shows the entry way into the RV Resort.  We are parked up on top of the hill.  The Resort is very nice with lots of room.  There are still three couples traveling together, all of us with plans to leave on Tuesday enroute to Las Vegas.  We all had a great bar-b-q today with loads of food to eat...family style...prepared by each RV.  From steak to links to pasta and salads; everything was very good.  We talked about "back-in-the-day" seated in somewhat of a campfire circle...minus the camp fire because it was too warm for added fire.  In a couple of days we will be leaving for our last stop before we begin the trek home and what a day that will be.  Take care and be safe.  Sharon

WILLIAMS ARIZONA AND THE GRAND CANYON

What a view!  The Grand Canyon.  We took a train ride to the Grand Canyon from Williams, Arizona.  The train ride was also an experience...beginning with live entertainment on the way up to the Canyon; and endind with an old fashioned train robbery...what a kick.  The Grand Canyon is one of the most amazing wonders of the world...a simply breath-taking experience.  For some it was a first; and for others, it was two or more visits.  Regardless of how often you see the Grand Canyon, the experience of awe and wonder still remains.  From every "picture" view, the Grand Canyon looks different...the sun, the shadows, the clouds... The first picture tries to capture one of those gorgeous views.  The second picture shows part of our group...Sonia, Paul, Larry and Charles.  The day was mostly sunny, but the weather was very cold (in the high 20's).  Leaving for Bullhead City today brought a change to much warmer temperatures...mid-80's.  Until next time...

The BALLOON FESTIVAL - ALBUQUERQUE NEW MEXICO

We watched while more than 500 hot air balloons were launched into the sky.  It was absolutely beautiful.  One of our traveling companions was able to cross this annual event off his "bucket list".  All four of us couples traveling together were shown great hospitality...and good food.  Thank you John, Alice, Evie, Janice and Larry for the memories.  The bottom picture is just but a snapshot of the concluding fireworks after the late evenings "night glow" of the balloons.  This trip was awesome.
