Davis Camp

Monday: (01/05) We left the Valley of Fire heading toward Laughlin via lake Mead NRA into Henderson, Nv. We stopped at the Majestic Casino in Henderson for lunch. Lou and Dawn shared the Majestic burger with blue cheese. I had the breakfast special. After a visit to the bank and the market we were on the road again. We checked into the Davis Camp campground staying at the beach dry camping area near the bridge. Davis Camp is diagonally across the bridge from Laughlin Nv in Bullhead City, Az.

After settling in, we headed back to Laughlin to the mall. Lou had some items being heald at the Bon Worth store there. When we were in Las Vegas they had shopped the the Bon Worth store there and they didn't have the size but Laughlin did. Since we were headed this way anyway, Lou had it heald, We then had dinner at the Riverside Casino. We listened to more of the Lindbergh tapes.

Tuesday: (01/06) Lou and I took a walk South along the river a ways then went over to the Home Depot store to look around. When we finally got back to camp we found that Dawn had been feeling a little sick. We listened to the rest of the Lindbergh tapes. The set was quite long but quite interesting as well. Lou and I went on another shopping trip. We are now, hopefully, stocked up. Lou fixed really nice corn chip and hamburger caserole.


Wednesday: (01/07) Lou and Dawn's day out on the town. They visited a local hobby store and several thrift stores. I relaxed at home. In the evening it was nice so we drove over to the Riverside Casino and walked the casino riverwalk visiting several of the casinos. We also visited with the casino cats by the river and learned about them from one of their caretakers.



Thursday: (01/08) Very nice day warm and no wind. Lou and I went out on the town while Dawn relaxed at home. We looked over the RV's at Paul Evert's lot. We did find a nice motorhome, a 2005 Sea Breeze. While we liked it best of all that we looked at our existing Sea Breeze motorhome is doing just fine. We then had lunch at Casa Serrano El Palacio in the Riverside Casino. The food was excellent. We shared a combo plate with a chili relleno, a beef enchilada and a pork tamale. They definitely have cold beer. Mine froze up after the first drink. I then had a beer icee. We also looked at some new homes in Laughlin. We didn't even know there was a residential area in Laughlin before today. We picked up Dawn and went over to the buffet at the Riverside. We all actually seemed to finally learn to just eat a normal meal at the buffet since it's the cheapest place to eat in Laughlin and one of the best buffets anywhere. After dinner, Lou and Dawn went over to Hasting's books, video and more to look around. I stayed at the Riverside and had a 99 cent margarita since I wasn't driving tonight. i then caught the free boat to the Arizona side of the river and walked home. Just after I got off the boat I saw a pair of raccoons. We'd heard they were around but hadn't seen any yet. The water was at it's highest so I couldn't walk along the river edge to get home so had to take the sidewalk by Highway 95 instead.

Friday: (01/09) Today was quite windy again. Lou and Dawn had another go at the thrift stores. I got another day at home playing at the computer. In the afternoon, they picked me up and we went over to the Riverside and watched the movie Bride Wars. It was a nice funny movie. We decided to see another movie but had a little while to wait so looked in on the AA Archives. Odd place for Alcoholics Anonymous. We then saw the movie Benjamin Button. I really wasn't too interested because I haven't liked Brad Pitt but he was actually good in this movie and the movie was very good as well, much like The Big Fish. After the last movie, we went over to the Casa Serrano El Palacio restaurant again for dinner. Lou and Dawn had a sampler platter and I had the Godfather burrito. Too much! and very good!

Saturday: (01/10) After breakfast Lou and Dawn took off. Lou has an appointment at home. It was quite windy all day into the early evening. It did die down later. I played with the computer most of the day. I took a walk over to the casinos just before dark and looked at the Tropianna, Pioneer, Golden Nugget, and River Palms casinos. Nice walk.

Sunday: (01/11) I was off toward Parker, Az after a bunch of tasks. Dump holding tanks, fill water, Fill LPG, and get gas. Work Work Work!
