Today was a quiet day after a couple long days of driving. I
did get up at the crack of dawn to do some yoga while watching and snapping
pictures of the sun coming up over the lake. Since we were expecting warm (hot)
temperatures (and no air) we decided to add another tarp on the other side of
the trailer. This would give us shade in the PM when the sun was on the awning
side of the trailer. We took a walk over to “RV City” which is the commercial
side of the park. (a good Sam’s RV park) Where we are paying $5 per night for a
lake view with the senior discount, they are paying about $48 per night. That
does include “FREE” electric, water, sewer and Wi-Fi! At 9 AM we headed over to
the visitor center to watch the park movie and get a plan of what to do over
the next few days. We headed into Boulder City which was one of the first
planned cities due to the building of the Hoover/Boulder Dam. Due to the
managed growth, they did not see the massive housing bust that was seen by Henderson & Las Vegas
just down the road. The original houses are still in the city and you could
tell the ones for the workers vs. the ones for the engineers and managers. We
finally used up one of the gift cards that I got from Volvo for my retirement.
I decided that we would use them strictly for meals out in unique places. Today
it was Boulder Dam Brewing Company. Good food, good beer, good company – what
could be better than that? We wandered in and out of the various shops, saw
some art and history and then made it back to the campground. A day of 12 miles
travel! We caught up on some reading, I washed the trailer and then took a dip
in the lake. We enjoy walking the loops of the campground in the evening, and
the sky over us is clear with stars, but in the distance the lights of Vegas
shine brightly.
