ARIZONA NEVADA IDAHO OREGON WASHINGTON

Here we go!!!

Tuesday morning

The sun is rising

The desert is starting to turn green

It's now 7 a.m.

Over the course of the day

we closed the house

had lunch with our friend Ken

packed the van and trailer

and

headed to the 'boy'

and 'girl's' home for the night

Bing and Susie were staying in the guest room

Madeline came for many visits

She and Bing played and played

If Madeline could talk

she would have said

let me in let me in!!!!!

We did our hugs at bedtime

The next morning the alarm went off at 5:30

We slipped out of the house at 6

and

were on our way

The sun was there to say

'GOOD MORNING'

It was a 'good' morning

but it's always hard

to say good-bye

to your children

grand children

and

even the grand dogs!!!!

What a magnificent sight

There were 11 hot air balloons in flight

We drove through a section

where there were many Joshua trees

What a crazy sign

Must have been

something once!

Lake Mead

by the Hoover Dam

One never knows when their picture is being taken

If you look closely you can see a lady

looking out a window

Las Vegas

A quick view from the road

High in the mountains of Nevada

The temperature was 33 degrees

We've stopped at Ely for the night

If Gwendolyn could talk

She would have said

'IT'S ABOUT TIME'

We walked to the Hotel Nevada

for dinner

What a history this hotel has....

It was built in 1929

 the tallest building

in the state

the first fire proof building

Rooms rented for $1.50 & up

All rooms had a private toilet

 85% had a private bath

The wooden walls display

brand and names of local

and area ranchers

Lyndon B Johnston

Jimmy Stewart

and

Evil Knievel were among

some of the celebrities

who stayed at the hotel

The hotel at 6:30 this morning

The perfect size for a trailer

Even comes with a wash tub!!!!!

The sun is trying to come out

Such a beautiful sight

Not many cars on the road

Not a good sight

Someone's trailer

This 'guy' was in the middle of nowhere

We stopped at a rest stop to

check the GPS......

Coming into Idaho

I'm thinking there is water in the bucket

There were several buckets around the field

which were much bigger

The horses need water for

a good ol' bath

There was another set of 'horns'

in the back of the truck

Must be used for roping

We're entering Oregon

How long have the chimney bricks

been sitting on the roof????

I wonder how old the house is????

What's the story????

A good way to advertize

Oregon Spring Water

Spring is around the corner

We're coming to a 6 degree

down grade

The big rigs had to have

their brakes tested

The big sky is ever changing

This is NOT a tractor

This is new to me

Wouldn't it be funny

if this tanker was filled with coffee!!!!

Great advertising

The McNary Dam in the distance

We're in Pasco Washington

for the night

The local airport can be seen

and heard

from our room

Another good day on the road

TO THE YOUNG BOY

AND

THE LITTLE BOY

We'll see you tomorrow

YEAH

YEAH

YEAH

O HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!
