A
short note from the Main Street Station RV Park in downtown Las
Vegas.
Clyda
and I had a nice few days with the Retzloff's over New Years. The
plan was for her to go home with Budd today when he went there to
play golf. Best plans and all as it rained and the golf game was
canceled. Don't know when Clyda will get home.
I
drove from Bakersfield to Tehachapi, CA with the plan to stop for
fuel at Love's. However I neglected to take in to account that it was
Sunday after New Years day and the traffic was horrendous and the
lines at the pumps were unbelievable. So I pushed on to Mojave and
got fuel at the Shell station which I had been wanting to check out
anyway. They have nice pull through islands just for diesel. It may
be my go to place in Mojave for fuel from now on.
I
met the rest of the gang at the Boron rest stop and from there we
drove to Domingo's restaurant in Boron for a quick lunch. Then it was
on to Barstow, CA for a stop at Harbor Freight before continuing on
to Baker where we parked as usual behind the Mad Greek restaurant for
the night.
We
left for Las Vegas about 10:30 AM Monday with a short stop in Primm
to call the reservation service for our campsite numbers. We arrived
at the RV park about 1 PM.
Later
we picked up our show credentials at a nearby hotel then had dinner
at Main Streets buffet.
Today
we spent the day running errands. Dick and I had lunch in Chinatown.
Quit an experience. It reminded me of eating out in Japan all those
many years ago when you could not understand the servers. All the
food came in steam baskets and you had to pick out what you wanted
without really knowing what you were getting. It all was good and the
bill came to $20 for 2 of us.
We
stopped at The Bellagio Hotel to checkout the décor of a new
restaurant called Lago. Quite impressive front decor.
We
also watched workers move a very large set piece for the new display
in the Conservatory. It is based on Chinese New Year.
Dinner
tonight was at a local cafe. Prime rib for $9.99.
We
have had light rain most of the afternoon and evening. It is
certainly welcome but will complicate things tomorrow as we wait for
buses and getting through the new
