So here I go with more mountain pictures - I just can't help myself! We traveled a whole 81 miles today to arrive in Boulder City ("The Town that Built Hoover Dam") an interesting history here. A personal history note - this is where, three years ago, for some foolish reason I felt I had to jump out of a perfectly good airplane -NO I will never do it again.. BUT I did it! Our travel today involved very strong cross winds that really whipped us around. Also, in the distance were some snow topped mountains - my photographic abilities today were very limited - don't know why but the many pictures I took of them just didn't work out. Also, we passed areas where there were these mini tornadoes or funnels in dirt fields - we've passed them before and I though for sure of all those we passed today at least one of the pictures I took would work - NOT - so you just have to trust me on this one.
We arrived at the Elks Lodge where I imagine I will do some volunteer efforts at the Friday night dinner in a while - I just really enjoy volunteering at the Lodges we stop at for a few days - it is another opportunity to meet people and hear their tales. There are 15 terrific, full hook up rv sites at this lodge and it was nothing short of a timing miracle that we got the last one available today. There is a large area out back for Sir Arlo to run around unleashed and act like a fool and there is so much around us - the Hoover Dam, camping world where we have a return to make and shopping to shop, Lake Mead - perhaps we'll do a dinner cruise thing there? And of course, this may be where we finally do part of the Grand Canyon - the ongoing what do we do with himself (S.A.) while we explore continues to haunt me however. Chester has pointed out that Sir has had a pretty darned good life and he should just "deal with it" being away from us for a couple days - Chester has not explained how I should explain all this to S.A. or deal with the self imposed "mother guilt" ... we shall see how this all "pans out"........

I still can't believe you jumped out of an airplane! Sir Arlo will survive!
