For the last 2 weeks Sandy and I have been camping at Oasis Resort which is just off the Las Vegas Strip. Although we are not gamblers, Las Vegas is a relatively inexpensive location to visit locations such as Death Valley National Park, Valley of Fire State Park, Painted Rocks at Seven Magic Mountains, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, and of course the Las Vegas Strip.
Lucky for us we had to change the permit we had to visit Red Rock Canyon due to a conflict. (Permits are required in Many of the National Parks now). The day we were originally scheduled there was a shooting at the visitor center. Apparently a male visitor went nuts and the authorities ended up shooting him.
Also about 3 weeks back we spent quite a bit of time in Zion National Park only to find out that 3 weeks later there was a rock slide across the road we were driving on which closed down the park.
The end of our visit to Las Vegas found us at a Freightliner dealer to get some work done on the COW. Two days later and $1000 lighter we are ready to move on to our next location which is Lake Havasu.
PS. Two weeks here and didn’t put a nickel into a slot machine :-)
I hope you enjoy the attached pictures:
