June 27-28-29 2019 Las Vegas, NV

We left the Cracker Barrel this morning early headed for our next stay for 9 days south of Las Vegas, NV.  We went south of Las Vegas to a desert campground called Cal-Nev-Ari RV Park in a community called Kidwell!! It really is in the midd.e of the desert. We knew we could get to Las Vegas, and to Hoover Dam and to Boulder City within an hour. Also I chose here because they told me there would be NO FIREWORKS with in many many miles. Most of you know we don’t sleep any on the 4th of July because Lexie has anxiety to the point of seizures with them. So a great  place for us to spend the holiday weekend. Plus most campgrounds out here are book full during this holiday.
27th We spent the first day setting up and took a route into California to a city called Bullhead. Beautiful town with a gorgeously lake and lots of history. We plan to return for a full day here. We had rode enough for the day so we showered and went to bed early (early for here, as we lost another hour getting here!!! Lol)

28th Friday !!!  Hoover Dam!!! All day!!! We took the extended tour there to go inside and outside the Dam. What an amazing place and we had a wonder tour guide. Them we spent fighting the crowds wondering around this huh place!! There is a 5 story parking deck if that tells you anything about how many people were there!! Plus the have a huge tour bus parking lot!!! They shuttle people through the exhibits like roped cattle!! Lol. We still had a great day at 104 degrees!!!!

29th Saturday.  We went into Las Vegas and drove the strip saw all the sights downtown I still want to see it at night, but Rod says he is not interested enough to fight the night time crowd!!
First visit Count Kustoms!! I’m sure you have seen the TV show. Great museum. We may go back again as they told us that Danny is there during the week.
Then on to Pawn Stars!! We got photos with Mark the consultant that values the history stuff for Rick on TV. He was an incredibly nice man and was so excited to stand with each person in the long line for a pic and talked to each person!!!
We went next door to Chumlees Candy Blvd store and he was there as well. Nice to everyone but did not take time for photos with people. The store is a total size of a 12X12 room and 75-80 people waiting to go inside!!!!
Then we drove to The Carrol Shelby Car Museum. They hook your phone up to their internet then send you to a website that walks you through the narrated tour step by step. Rod really enjoyed.
We will return to Las Vegas again since we will be here another week.
Over all another great day!!
Love to all, Ms. Fran & Cap’n Rod
