Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I'm home, but jeez guys, give me some time to get the truck unloaded and stuff put away! AND as you all well know, it takes a little time to get the photos on the 'pooter, sized, labeled and uploaded to PB! So ok, here ya go, but since I know ya'll love scenery pix, first you have to wade thru those.
I-15 North, between Barstow and Baker, plain old desert, kind of boring for most people, but I love it:
Scenery is a little better thru this pass:
Dare you to pronounce this after a couple of Carolyn's Coolers!
Dry Lake in the distance:
Down grade into Baker, where I had a potty break and second breakfast. Baker is the entry to Death Valley.
Is this our friend Jenny? Nope, it was a fiver, with a girlie driving! Gosh, we're everywhere!
Target in sight, Primm, Nv!
My new buddy Becky and me, a little blurry, Ron was a little shaky. Guess he was waiting for Beck and I to cut loose..or jump in the water for a picture! LOL!
A better one from Becks phone, but for some reason I had my eyes shut.
$100
Some pretty big flamingos, and yes, Becky and I discussed getting in the water for a better picture...and no, we didn't do it. Didn't want Ron to have to drive all the way back to LV to bail us out.
All I wanted to do was make sure that they both fit in the holders! A $100 Tommy Bahama suit for $23!! What a deal!
Lunch was at the buffet in the casino (what's a GTG w/o food??), pretty bad but we managed to find some things worth eating, altho Becky was gonna fight a lady for the last chicken leg, she settled for a thigh. Me, I would have snatched it off her plate! LOL!
Salad was good, tho. Becky was good and ordered lemonade, not iced tea...Whew! Disaster averted!
I took them over to Whiskey Pete's to see a mobsters car complete with bullet holes. It belonged to mobster Dutch Schultz.
It was a GREAT GTG, and Becky and Ron are so much fun! I'm really glad we had the chance to meet. Oh, and I didn't win anything in the tournament, but came out a couple of hundred ahead on my gambling, got to wear my new bathing suit, so all in all, it was a fantastic week! And yes Vickie, tried on the suit over my clothes, and no, didn't wear it in the casino, wore it at the pool (Knew that was your next question! LOL!)
Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fat.
