Day 309

Las Vegas to Overton, NV
Wow, what a busy 11 days this has been.  We arrived in Vegas on Sunday of last week and stayed 3 nights at the Hitching Post RV park, since we couldn’t get into the track because of the heat until Wednesday.  Met up with some friends we met in Mesa in December and got caught up on all the news.  Did some shopping at the Sketcher’s store.  Buy 1 get 1 half off.  What a great deal.  Dropped Lee off at the barber shop and I went thrift store shopping (shocking, I know).  Cost Lee $30 for a haircut and beard trim?!?  Seriously?!?.  I got a shampoo, hair cut and style for $16.  Guess you need more schoolin for beard trimming.  🙂
Finally time to go to the track, hooray!  Checked in and we were only the 3rd RV there.  It is neat to watch all of the rigs pulling in.  Our friends from Vegas and Utah made it, but the ones from California couldn’t.  Had a great time catching up.  Watched 3 races, then sadly it was time to go home.  Gonna miss everyone, but we will see them again in February.
Had a grasshopper infestation, then some other smaller Beatles moved in.  Had a tough time keeping them off of my plants.  Watered everything really good on Wednesday, sat down to read my book, and when I looked up there was a snake in my tomato planter.  Stayed there long enough for me to take a picture of it then went on it’s merry little way.  Guess he just stopped by for a cool drink of water.
Spent Saturday morning at the Flea Market.  It was fun, but HOT.  Might have over done it a little since we still had the race to go watch that afternoon.   Drank about a gallon of water, which of course made us sweat more.  Thank goodness we bought the big generator that would run our air conditioner.  Bristol and Dinky Dawg survived the heat, but really appreciated that we left the generator running while we were at the races.
Moved back to the Hitching Post for a couple of days so we could get caught up on the laundry before our next adventure.  Weatherman said temps are still going to be in the 90’s for awhile, so we decided to stay in an RV park in Overton, NV (about $250 less than Vegas for the month). So if you are looking for us we are at the Fun in the Sun RV Park, until the middle of October.  So happy to not have to think about moving day until then, but of course, it just means that we bring out more stuff that has to be packed away when moving day does finally roll around.
