Las Vegas Baby!!

NOTE: CLICK ON A PHOTO TO SEE THEM

Good Day everyone. We have added another state to our map, actually we have added two more, California and Nevada. We have seen 25 states in the past 3 years, some states have been repeats like Texas, where we have seen 5 places. We are in Las Vegas! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, except some of what I post!!

Well, we have been here for about 10 days at an RV park on Nellis AFB. Its really nice. The only drawback is loud jets flying over head almost every day for hours… Loud Loud Loud… What do you expect on an AFB? LOL It’s just a few miles from the Las Vegas Strip. We also visited the largest wildlife refuge in the contiguous United States. The Desert National Wildlife Refuge outside of Las Vegas is part of the Mojave Desert. It’s 1.6 million acres and was created to protect Big Horn Sheep in 1936.

Trail Sign with a coyote statue in the background, made us do a double take…

We want to do some more sight seeing here on the base and take some pictures so I can post them. We are NOT done with seeing some great stuff here… Here are some pictures of the Base.  I visited the Thunderbird Museum and drove throughout Nellis AFB, to take some pictures of the jets that are on display.

We headed down to the Vegas Strip and had a good long walk up and down the Las Vegas Boulevard. We have seen a lot of the usual and some of the unusual on the strip. We didn’t win big, but 22.00 isn’t to bad on the slots.. We ate lunch at the Hard Rock Café. Walked to the Las Vegas Welcome sign, and back. Walked almost 8 miles up and down the strip. We were hurting at the end of the night.

We are heading to Valley of Fire National Park tomorrow, so pictures of that will be in a later post.  We will have plenty of nice pictures of that visit when we get to our next location or Spooner Lake. You will have to check out our next post to see the beautiful pictures of VALLEY OF FIRE..

We have a little less than a 4 days left here in Las Vegas, and then we head up to Goldfield, NV. Only have two days there and then two days in Hawthorne, NV Whiskey Flats.. Then we arrive at our hosting spot next to Lake Tahoe. (Spooner Lake).. We are arriving two weeks late because of the snow that was dumped at Spooner Lake, over the past few weeks.. I will never drive in the snow with our home (Freedom), to dangerous, and because it’s our home, not going to take any chances..

Will post the rest of our stay here in Vegas when I get to the next location, that is if we have decent Wi Fi…

Stay tuned and keep in touch… Hope Spring is treating you all well…  Post to you soon….
