April 21st to April 30, 2020 From Las Vegas to Michigan

We left Las Vegas, beautiful weather and great friends on April 21st to 

head for Michigan.

It was a great trip home with very little traffic.  I drove about 250

miles a day.  It was easy with no traffic and an awesome co-pilot who

kept my water glass full and snacks at the ready.

I have included some of the campgrounds we stayed at on our

way back to the mitten.

Flo & Bob said to be sure we stopped at the Hoover Dam pull off on our way out.

It was a great stop with a beautiful view.

Our first stop was in Williams, AZ.  We stayed at

Rail Side RV Ranch and picked up dinner

from Pine Country Restaurant

 This is the train that take people to the Grand Canyon.

We took the train a couple of years ago.  It 

was so much fun.

This cemetery was at the other end of 

Williams.  There were some very old headstones here.  

Most of the sights were fenced in some way.

It was a huge place with a lot of history. 

This building is up for sale

The view down main street.

This place is always packed until

Covid came to town

On the road to Grants, NM

We found Journey KOA in Grants.  It had great trails to walk and

history to read.  You could also order dinner

delivered to your rig.  We got a Thanksgiving dinner

that was really good.  The owners just took over

the property three weeks before the lock down.  I would

defiantly stop by this campground again.

We found a great park in Cloverdale, IN.

The grounds were beautiful and it was an easy in kind of place.

Our last stay on the road was in Angola, IN at 

Happy Acres.  It was a nice easy in place.  Really

nice owners

So now were are back in Michigan at Holiday Shores.

Bill has an appointment for a new CT scan on May 15th.

He hasn't had chemo since we left Florida March 7th.

We found out at that time that his chemo was no longer controlling 

the cancer in his lungs.  The lesions had doubled and some had grown. 

If all goes well he will be set up for a new treatment that

 could be chemo or a pill.  We will know more on 

the 20th when we see his Dr for an update.

We hope everyone is managing well with the Covid-19 

lock down.  We spent most of our time on the road or 

quarantined with friends in Las Vegas.

It looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we

will be able to figure out the new normal.

Take care everyone!! 

April 3-21, 2020 Las Vegas

We made it to Las Vegas.

So nice to do quarantine with great friends,

good food and beverages.

 Oh the food

Ever wonder what the strip looks

like with no one there.

                      Fremont Street Empty

If you look close you can see

Hope Shines Bright

In lights

The street virtually empty and no one on 

the sidewalks

                             Soaking up some sun                   Kona the Queen

There is a horse stable a couple of blocks away

Odd to see in the middle of a city.  I think it 

was there before the city

 The Thunderbirds gave a fly over.

It was a thrill

 We are so blessed with the wonderful hospitality and love 

that Flo & Bob showed us.

There is a time when friends become family and 

they are our family.

And now we start the long drive back to Michigan

and more family. 

March 24th - 29th, 2002 Arizona

The FMCA Rally was cancelled and the FamCamps 

are closed so we stayed at the Pima Fairgrounds.

It was beautiful.  For safety sake we were

parked every other sight and the AZ 

sunsets are beautiful.  

Here are the sights on the fairgrounds.

Moon shot over the RV

 We took a drive up to the 

Mt. Lemmon ski resort

We were up high enough to find snow

  If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them something more than the miracles of technology.  We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
