Reviewing September

Where We’ve Been… This is another long one so get a cup of coffee & a donut.

September into October:

• Our friends, the Chalks in Kelseyville, CA - so much fun seeing old friends, eating, drinking (haven’t had any wine since. Found out wine has become much more expensive than it was 20 years ago.), visiting, & chilling out.
• Lake Minden, CA - though it was out in the boonies with no WiFi (except in the lodge), it was beautiful & lots of fun stuff to do.
• Terrible’s Gold Ranch Casino & RV Resort in Verdi, NV - Great space, daily dinner specials that were to die for, won enough money to eat out every night & gamble a little. Definitely will go back!
• Comstock RV Resort in Carson City, NV - Probably our favorite RV park to date. So much to do in the area, & Virginia City is close by. So much history here.
• Whiskey Flats RV, Hawthorne, NV - Not much to do around here but Rod did win $42 in their small casino. The RV park is really nice & has the best laundry to date. Yes, I am getting used to laundry mats in RV parks.

What We Saw:

• Lots of friends we haven’t seen for 12 years
• Thunder Valley Casino Lincoln, CA (near Lake Minden) - Great buffets

• Thousand Trails at Lake Minden had a lot of activities. I took bead classes & made 3 bracelets, 6 charms for an exchange, & a pair of earrings. We also went to Candy Bingo & won 4 candy bars & then attended an ice cream social.

• Cabela’s & Boomtown (Rod won $80 playing the penny slots)- Verdi, NV
• Streets of Thunder - in Reno & Sparks Lots of motorcycles. The GoGo Bar was particularly interesting.
• Legends Outlet Shopping in Sparks, NV Lots of stores but the coolest was Scheels. It’s like a Cabela’s with a huge Ferris Wheel in the middle of the store along with a huge Aquarium.
• Mark Twain Museum, the Firefighter’s Museum, the Peace Officer’s Museum, & Chollar Mine in Virginia City, NV. We went to Virginia City two days & there is still so much more to see. It is 16 miles from Carson City where we were staying. Chollar mine was on Ghost Adventures where the guys were locked in overnight. Supposedly it is haunted.
• The Nevada State Museum & the Nevada Railroad Museum in Carson City. Again so much more to see so we know we will be back.

October is packed full of discoverng & trying out some more Thousand Trails & RPI RV sites & again meeting up with friends. 

We have booked our spaces for Thanksgiving & Christmas, New Years. I had heard that it would be hard to book for the holidays, but there was no problem & lots of spaces left.

 

We already having some fun in October, but I will share AFTER we have been there & done that!  LOL
