Fall 2017

We begin another RV adventure. We'll be away

from home for about 7 weeks and will miss our family, especially our grandchildren. JJ is now 2 1/2 years old and Jade just turned 1. They are so much fun, we really enjoy them.

On this trip we plan to travel hwy 395 from Bishop to Lee Vining, CA. From there we head to Boise, ID for a wedding. Then back to Vegas on hwy 93, visiting Ely and Great Basin National Park. Should be fun.

Las Vegas

Sept 04   We arrived in Las Vegas this morning and our friend Winky picked us up. As always, our first stop was breakfast. A new place this time, Mimi's Cafe on Stephanie in Henderson. It's near our hotel Sunset Station. Breakfast was real good. Besides our regular breakfast, we had a pumpkin muffin with cream cheese filling...so good!

We went to the storage to pick up the car and start the RV. Both started right away so that was good. After Winky left us, we started the generator. It started right up but after a few minutes, it died out. We kept running it but it kept dying out after a few minutes. We'll need to wait till tomorrow to fix it because today is Labor day.

We're staying 3 nights at Sunset Station. Got lucky with comp rooms. We like this hotel, very convenient to our storage. For dinner we met Winky & Leslie and their friends Pua & Richard at Tata's Asian Grill on Stephanie in Henderson. Was pretty good, especially the Japanese combo. The tempura was excellent. Afterwards, we all went back to Sunset Station and did a little gambling. Always a blast to hang out with Winky & Leslie.

Sept 05   Today we did some maintenance on the RV. We had an appointment at Camping World to install the vent in the bathroom. Joe checked with them about fixing our generator. We had to pick up the fuel pump and filter across town and bring it back to Camping World so they could install it for us. We got everything fixed and our final bill was $624. Hopefully, nothing else gives us problems.

We spent some time at the pool today. Very nice pool here, wish I had more time to enjoy it. Especially in this heat! It's been real hot...over 100 degrees.

Sept 06   Today we continued to get the RV ready so we can leave Las Vegas tomorrow. We gassed up, shopped for food and supplies, and did some light maintenance. In the afternoon, we went to the pool again, so nice.
