Day 339

Overton,  NV to Beaver Dam, AZ
Not a lot of exploring in the past month, because we were focusing on finding a more permanent place to spend the winter.  We made an offer on some property in Overton, but we were not able to agree on a price, so we decided to keep looking. 
Couldn’t find anything else in that area, so we decided to look closer to Mesquite.  We lucked out and found a long term RV spot in Beaver Dam, Arizona.  Already loving it as there was a yardsale at one spot (got a patio table umbrella for 2 bucks, sweet) and free clothes at another spot.  Gotta love your first day in a new neighborhood that has 2 of your favorite things on move in day.
We went for a bike ride and met some of the neighbors, just wondering how I am going to remember all of their names!
We did do a little sightseeing before we left Overton.  We went to see St. Thomas that was buried under the water at Lake Mead when it was filled after the building of the Hoover Dam.  Sadly, water levels are so low that the town is now dried out.  It was cool to go see the ruins and to see a little bit of history.  We had a nice hike, although it was pretty hot.  Dinky Dawg just got plum wore out.  First time ever.
We ran into Mesquite and had lunch with Theresa, a friend that we met in Jackpot, NV back in June.  She was the reason that we found such a great place to stay here in Beaver Dam.
Our new home is awesome.  Friendly neighbors, a deep spot so Dinky Dawg can run around, trees (yes, 2 of them), hummingbirds and beautiful scenery.  Can’t wait to check out the area and see more of its beauty.
