Let's see ...... where have we been in the last week????? From Page we went to Lake Powell and visited friends we met in Alaska. From there we went to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Do you notice a lake theme here? Maybe we are a little homesick! Then on to Las Vegas. Interesting place; we went in all the major casinos, did a little gambling, went to a comedy show and the Mob Attraction. Will probably never go again - but I can say I've been there! Spent the weekend in Pahrump, NV with a friend who moved there from St. Ignace. Guess we did quite a bit in a week.
Comments from Eldon: It was nice be around the water. The friends we met up with are full-timers. That means they have sold their home and now live permanently in a 43 foot motor home. It's beautiful - they had 8 for dinner with room to spare. A nice break from the turtle - but don't get me wrong - I love my turtle (our camper). Between Lake Powell and Mead, we took an interesting detour. About a mile off the highway is the community of Colorado City. Probably the most unwelcome place I've ever been - it is home of the FLDS sect (Fundamental Latter Day Saints - otherwise known as polygamists.) No smiles, just stares, children motioning for us to get out of town, and being followed by a police car until we were out of the city limits. In Vegas, we stayed at the Circus Circus campground. So, we were on the strip and took the bus all over - two days was enough and ready to move on.
Comments from Harry: I spent most of the week in the air conditioned camper. Cindy has been teaching me how to walk on my leash better.
