We arrived in Pahrump, NV after a great week off-roading. At the same time we were without cell or internet service so it is nice to be back online. We are currently staying at a campground which certainly has all the amenities - we even went to the hot tub last night. It is also one of contrasts - pine trees throughout the campground with palm trees along the roadways. I always think pine trees are associated with colder areas such as further north or on mountains; however, palm trees are the opposite.
One of the first things to be done is to stock up on groceries. One of the great things about this campground is that most places are within walking distance so grab the backpack and off to Smiths we go. There was some sort of promotion going on when we arrived so we each received a ticket. Guess what - my ticket was the first one drawn, and Gerry's was next. Lucky day - I won a roasted chicken while Gerry won a fruit pie - now we knew what we were having for supper.
With a couple of casinos close by, that could have been a sign of good luck. Yup, it was a sign of good luck, but it stopped when we went out the door.
The week was mainly spent with generally cleaning which was badly needed. Gerry washed and waxed the motorhome while I shampooed the carpets, washed windows, and all those regular cleaning kind of jobs.We ended this week by attending a pow-wow. While there were few dances, much drumming, and various speeches, some of the costumes are definitely something to see. Below are some photos to show some of the incredible outfits.
And that brings the week to a close. The weather at the beginning of the week was absolutely perfect. Then we had a couple of days of wind and some cloud. The sun came back but the cold front went through - a bit chilly in the shade but the sun is warm. Once the cold temps pass tonight, they are promising warmer weather again which we will be looking forward to.
I hope everyone had a great week and may the next week be the same. Until then.............
