WE MADE IT!!!

I planned to write a lot about our day to day travel on the way out but after being a day late getting started because of snow and ice on the roads, having a cross wind and wet road from home to St. Louis, stopping at 5 on Monday night so we could set up the satellite dish to watch the Vikings-Bears game, only getting to Oklahoma City on the second day because it was snowing for the next 100 miles and we pulled in to a campground at 4 in the afternoon, left the next morning in the fog and when we stopped to get LP gas the attendant had trouble filling our tank so that took an hour, then when we got almost to Albuquerque it started snowing again so hard that we drove the next 40 miles in blizzard conditions at about 20 mph for at least 30 of it, the next morning it was so windy it was rocking the MH when we got up so we waited a while before taking off, and then there was a traffic accident on I40 that held up traffic for 2 and a half hours plus another construction stop for 30 minutes, but we did get to Williams, Az where we stayed for the night in about a foot of snow and it got down to 13 degrees, I think we were the only overnighters in the RV Park, the next morning was yesterday morning and we got the earliest start of the trip, so we made it to Las Vegas to our RV Park at noon, but I thought that would be kinda dumb and nobody would really care anyway, so just decided to write that we made it.
We couldn't tell what color the car and MH were when we got here because of all the road dirt so found a car wash up the street that we went to and cleaned them up a little. We did get the lot that we asked for as we had been on it before, and liked it. We met Herb and Margie last night for supper at TGI Fridays, and went to the sports book today to watch Illinois get beat by Gonzaga. We have the MH all set up now and even did a load of laundry today. Now we are going out to the super walmart across the street for bread, milk, etc.
Guess that is about it for now, hopefully the next time we will have a picture or two to add.
Bye Bye

  1. glad you made it out there safely. Watch out for downtown Vegas. Heard there was a gunman at one of the downtown casinos. Crazy!
