October...Around Here...

Still going strong & having fun with our NEW NORMAL!

Sept. 29 - Oct. 2, we stopped in Hawthorne, NV.  Not much there but an Army Ammunition's Depot.  The RV park was really nice, but very little to do.

We explored a little, gambled & won $40.  The laundry was the nicest yet.

On to Tonapah Oct. 3 - 4  The RV park was behind a hotel.  There was a lot to do and I really liked this little town.  We went to the Mining Museum, & the Nevada Museum in one day.

Got to see the Mitzpah Hotel that was featured on Ghost Adventures.  It was bought & refurbished it.   Saw no ghosts.  Poo!

Next...Las Vegas BABY!  Even though what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, not in our case.  We will share.

• Clark County Museum - $2 and it should be more,  It was fabulous!  The curator is often featured on the show "Pawn Stars".  He wears the sort of Amish style hat.
• Went to eat at one of the Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives featured restaurants - Johnny Mull's Roadkill Cafe & BBQ.  It was too die for & with the two dinners we had we enjoyed dinner the next night with my leftovers.  Tons of food for the price!
• Tried to go to the "Pawn Stars" store featured on TV, but there was an hour & a half wait.
• Went to Rick's Restoration which is also on TV & took a FREE tour. Saw Tyler, Cowboy & Kelly.  Too cool!
• Bass Pro Shop is connected to a hotel & Casino & Rod won us two FREE buffet dinners.  Love FREE!
• Walked around Bally's & Paris on the strip.  Can't wait to walk through the other Casinos.
• We had dinner one night with a guy Rod used to work with in San Jose & they haven't seen each other for 28 years.  Ellis Island Restaurant...very good!
• One of my choices to see was the Atomic Testing Museum with a special exhibit - Area 51: Fact or Fiction.  Very fun!
• We met a couple from Alaska that gave us Moose meat & Moose breakfast sausage & a coupon to try an RV Park in Laughlin which includes 2 FREE breakfast buffets.  Love Free!  Just met them doing laundry & they were so nice. 

Next Bullhead City, AZ.  Really nice RV Park.  Met friends at the Avi Casino for Seafood Buffet (& gambling, duh!).  We were there for 4 days & did a lot of exploring.  Went to Oatman for the day that is similar to Virginia City.  It has mules roaming the streets & people feed them carrots.  We didn't get out of the car & walk around because we brought Kilo with us so we will definitely go back.  I did feed a mule a carrot from the window of the truck.

More later & I am setting up photos online so we can share everything we are experiencing.
