About That Las Vegas (September 29 - October 4)

Dear Family and Friends,

Hello from Las Vegas!

Our last few days in Park City involved hiking, biking and spending lots of time with Warren and Lea.

Roger and Bear hiking Silver Spur in Park City

We left Park City on Wednesday and drove to Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. We have stayed at the Fam Camp before and were glad to return to familiar surroundings. It is very quiet on the air force base due to the government shut down. It is very sad not to see jets in the sky over Las Vegas.

Roger and I have some exciting plans to tell you. We intend to be on the road (full time) for one more year and use that year to travel on the east coast. We have decided to down size from the Tour to a Leisure Travel Van (Unity model). There are several reasons: 1. ease of travel on the East coast, and 2. planning the next chapter of our lives in Ft. Worth, Texas (ahhh, the call of the grandchildren). We do not want to have a coach as large as the Tour for travel use in Ft. Worth. The smaller LTV is just what we want for periodic trips. In the process of doing the planning, Roger happened to find the exact model of the LTV that we want in San Marcos, California. In short, we purchased the LTV and will pick it up in two weeks. We have been very busy trying to consolidate our belongings. This past weekend we took a load from the Tour to a storage unit in Tucson. We rented a U-Haul trailer and drove to Tucson on Saturday, then back to Las Vegas on Sunday. The great part about the trip was that we got to see our son Michael and daughter-in-law, Bridget.


The Terrain did a great job of pulling the trailer.

Bridget and Michael took us out to dinner in Tucson.

The next two weeks will be spent relaxing and enjoying Las Vegas. Then we drive on October 21st to San Marcos, California. Thank you for checking in with us. I will keep you posted on our exciting new adventures in the LTV or as we call it, the Sprinter (the van is on a Sprinter chassis) RV.
