MAR 12, Friday, golfing
Our new friends and neighbour, Jim and Janette, asked us to go golfing with them at the local Municipal golf course, an 18 executive holes so we said SURE! Our tee time was noon but we actually started at 11:30. We had a fair game and lots of fun and laughter. We got home around 4 pm, took Tucker out for his walk then we, the four of us, walked to the clubhouse where they were having a “Happy Hour” serving wine from the Winery next door and some local beer. We had to pay but it was minimal and there were finger food to pick at. We met more RV’ers and neighbours here. There are a few BC’ers in this park and like us, getting ready to head back home.
It was a very good day and warm
MAR 13, Saturday, Pahrump
The park was having a cook-in for lunch so we, along with Jim and Janette, went to it and had burgers and chilli hot dog. Afterwards, the four of us, along with the dogs, took a hike in the desert behind the park and went in search of two more caches. Jim was already familiar with the process so we introduce Janette to it and she found one. We had fun doing it and their dog, Grizz, even gave chase to a rabbit. Tucker gets along really well with him as he is very gentle. The wind had picked up again in mid-afternoon and no one wanted to stay out.
We came home then the two of us took a drive into town to the bank and to return a couple of movies. The wind became a lot stronger in the early evening and even shook our rig and it got much colder too.
MAR 14, Sunday, Pahrump
All the clocks were moved ahead one hour this morning. Val did the laundry in the park as the machines were all open.
The wind picked up again in the afternoon but it stayed warm. Jim and Janette were going up the Wheeler Pass which is behind us, on their quad and we decided to follow them in our truck. The road up was really good and smooth gravel. We climbed to 6700 feet before we were forced to turn around as there was just too much snow on the road and having no chains and only summer tires, I didn’t want to take a chance. We had lunch up there, the dogs played and explored and I explore the road further up with Jim on his quad and we agreed that it would not be a good idea to continue in my truck even if I have 4X4. This pass, when the road is clear, takes you to Red Rock Canyon from the back way and to Mt Charleston ski area. We came back down to our site and had Happy Hour together and then it was time to go in for the evening.
MAR 15, Monday, Pahrump
Another beautiful and warm day. After Val’s exercises, she decided to clean house so I ended up washing the windows outside then the truck’s window. While I was at it, I washed the outside as it was filthy form the ride yesterday.
In the afternoon, we went to the Post Office then went to find a few more caches. We came home and had Happy Hour with Jim and Janette and met a new neighbour form Nevada who told us some stories on the back roads around here.
Another great day!
MAR 16, Tuesday, Pahrump
Jim and Janet went golfing today and we went into town and did more geo-caching. We got home around 4 p.m and Jim and Janet got back around 4:30. We got a lot of rv’ers come in today and we met our neighbours beside and across from us. All are into 4 wheeling with quads. We had happy hour and a few of them joined us.
MAR 17, Wednesday, Happy St-Patty Day!
After the morning exercises, Val and Janet went shopping in town; Jim and I went for lunch at Terrible Lakeside Casino and RV Park. That is one beautiful RV park and if we come back here again, I think we would stay here. We took a drive to Sherry’s ranch and Chicken Ranch afterwards, both legal brothels in Nevada. We didn’t go in but Jim had never seen them so now he knows! (smile)
After the girls came home, we got ready and the four of us went to the clubhouse for a corn beef dinner, potatoes, carrots and the usual cabbage. It was very good and the place was packed.
Afterwards, we went back to our rig and had a nightcap. The evening was warm and comfortable to sit outside. A couple neighbours stopped by to chat.
