Arriving in Laughlin

It seems that as soon as you leave home you expect warmer weather, but that's not always the case. It was cold when we left Eatonia and it was cold right down to Mesquite. We also fought strong side winds most of the way. We were so grateful to see the "Welcome to Nevada" sign because that usually means "farewell to the jackets".

We spent two days in Mesquite before moving on to Avi RV Park just outside of Laughlin, Nevada. We tried to avoid the heavy traffic in Vegas and as a result we took a bypass through the Valley of Fire and Lake Mead. It was not a shortcut and we won't do this again. BUT the scenery was spectacular.

The weather forecast is for highs of 10 in Laughlin accompanied by showers, so we are off to Yuma as soon as we get the unit dewinterized - probably Friday.

For me, that "Welcome to Nevada" sign because that usually means "farewell to the XXXXXXX"... enter budget amount here.

Everyone here is gearing up for Old Fashioned Xmas, concert, bathtub races, etc. Having 5:01 tomorrow, we'll be thinking of you!
