Mar 20th - Tuesday
The RV spot here in Laughlin (Riversite Casino) leaves a lot to be desired. We are in a “less desirable” central area with very narrow spots. The sites have a left and right spot for each number and the right spot is only used when the park is full. Well, we have neighbors left and right so it is really cozy. The Riverside Casino is on the north end of the park and across the street. All the other casinos are south but there is no exit from the park at that end so when you are walking you have to go clear to the north end of the park and then head south to the other casinos. And of course our site is on the south end of the park!! The coupon that we had includes the breakfast buffet for 2 and the dinner buffet for 2. Not a bad dinner buffet tonight.
Mar 21st - Wed
How can a breakfast buffet be bad? Well, this one was! We bought tickets for a boat ride at 2:30 and then wandered down the row of casinos - there is a walkway along the river for a long ways. I mentioned to Terry that we had a long walk back for the boat ride but the time slipped away and suddenly it was 2:15 (when they told us to be there!) so we walked so fast to get back there and made it. The boat went up river to the Davis Dam and then down past all the casinos. The captain told a lot of history as we went so it was interesting. Lovely weather. Went to a different casino for a “2 for 1” buffet and it was terrible!
Mar 22nd - Thurs
We drove to the Avi casino this morning to check it out and take advantage of the 99 cent ham & egg breakfast. Drove back through Bullhead City. Shopped at the outlet mall - looking for jean capris as I had to throw away my old pair as they were falling apart. No luck. There was a wind, rain, lightning storm when we went back to the rig to water & feed Dolly. Pebbles were thrown against the side of the rig. Yet another “2 for 1” buffet for dinner and it was good. Haven’t cooked for 3 days - how unusual! Notice there has been no mention of gambling wins? That is because there have not been any to speak of!
Mar 23rd - Friday
Decided to go along Lake Mead and stay in a campground along the lake somewhere. Well, Terry was not too impressed with what we saw of Lake Mead so we continued on to Mesquite - near the border of Nevada & Utah. Stopped at a casino RV park and they were full so we dry camped in the parking lot along with many other rigs and semis. I actually cooked dinner tonight - what a nice change. We sat and chatted with a nice couple from Alberta until a short rainstorm sent us inside.
Mar 24th - Saturday
We are near Hurricane, Utah, about 15 miles north of St George. We are in a Western Horizon (member) campsite that was in our CampClub USA list of participating campgrounds. So even though we aren’t Western Horizon members, we get the site for half price. Paid for 2 nights.
Went through Zion national park today. Didn’t get going until after noon and did not wear the proper clothes for hiking so just went on a couple of scenic drives. Amazing landscape! I would like to go back and go on a couple of walks but will have to see what I can talk Terry into and how much time we have after going to Bryce Canyon park.
We had breakfast before we left this morning and then did not have lunch. So we stopped at a store on the way back and got a couple of nice steaks to put on the BBQ for an early dinner. Wandered around the park and talked quite a while with a guy from Port Townsend, WA who has been full timing for 5 years.
