YEAH, NO LONGER IN CALIFORNIA

Happy to be out of California and into Nevada.  Nice to be away from the 5-lane highways, crazy Californian drivers, dust storms and sand in the coach.

The road from California to Nevada

The view along the way

We'll be staying at Preferred RV Resort in Pahrump for about a week before going to Vegas and waiting for Christi and Phil to arrive for their big 1-week Vegas vacation.  Very excited to be spending time with them and seeing the sights together.

But for now, like I said, we're in Pahrump, which is kind of a nice park although they seem to be allowing more and more people that "live" at the park instead of just "passing" through.

The park has a nice pond and
cactus garden

It is a very active community with goings-on all the time.  Today was their annual Hawaiian Luau.  They started the fire pit last night and put the beef and pork in around 2:00 in the morning.  They had all the Hawaiian fixings to go with lunch including dancing and music entertainment.

Very talented young ladies

We drove down the road to check out a few of the casinos and explore the area because it's been a few years since we've been here.  I was surprised to walk into a casino and smell cigarette smoke, thought that was banned, but I guess anything goes here.

The cafe here has a buffet for $4.99

We found a nice smoke-free bowling alley that we may get back to.  Denis couldn't resist the Dairy Queen especially with a 20% discount from the park.

We drove to a park that was Western Horizon but has gone private called the Winery RV Park.  They put money into the park and made a lot of upgrades and it looks beautiful.  But even with our membership discounts it would be $25-$27 per night.  I remember the restaurant next door was excellent.

Hope you had a nice day.  Thanks for stopping in to say hi.
