Day 38 Grand Canyon

We are at the south rim of Grand Canyon at a campground called Mather. We was going to go to the new Skywalk at Grand canyon west, but changed minds after we found out it was many miles of stone road that is very rough. Last night we rode the bikes down to the rim trail, took a few pictures before dark. I been having a lot of trouble posting my blog. Worked for several hours last night trying to connect properly. I think I got it working now. It is pretty cold here, after our heat wave at Laughlin. It was 32 degrees last night. A few minutes ago I had my connection device up on the roof of camper, and a raven came along and tried to steal it. I will try to add pictures later, I am sending this while it still works.

Days 36 & 37 Laughlin, Nevada

We are still in Laughlin for one more day. Have been eating too much. We go to a breakfast buffet in the morning and a dinner buffet in the evening. As for exercise we sometimes walk a long way to the buffet as there are many casino's here to choose from. Friday nite they all had the seafood buffet, so it was hard to choose which casino. I don't know if we picked the best one, but the one we tried was great. We stuffed ourself's with shrimp, snow crab, etc. The slot machines have not been very kind too us. It is very hot here, over 90. In the pictures, the first on casino drive, we are camped on the right side. The second is the view of Arizona (across the river) if you are on the roof of our camper. The Riverside casino has several rooms of car collections. I spent some time in there taking pictures. The last picture is a vehicle that belonged to John Wayne. Tomorrow we head for Grand Canyon west and the new Skywalk.

Days 34 & 35 Laughlin, Nevada

I'll just combine 2 days, that will maybe take care of missing a day. We got into Laughlin, Nevada about 5 PM yesterday. Got tired of California and the coast and thought we would try to dry out a little in the desert. There is beautiful clear weather here and temperatures in low 80's. Laughlin, Nevada is a row of casinos along the Colorado river. Last night we went to the Joe Diffie show. It was very good. After that we hit the slot machines. Barb put 3 quarters in a machine and won 15 quarters. We quit while we were ahead and went back to the camper and bed. We are camped at the Riverside Casino RV park which is right across from the Riverside casino that started it all in Laughlin. This morning we ate breakfast at the Edgewater Casino. Had to wait in line 15 min, lots of people out here. Later today we hope to take the complete river walk which goes about a mile between the casinos and the river, and eat supper at one of the buffets. In the first picture is a large number of windmills. This is only a small section of a large wind mill farm. The second picture is where we are camped, and staying for a second night.
