Great Ending to Trip

We slept in for our final morning in Vegas. It was about 9:30 when we finally got things together to leave. We decided to take $100 of our winnings and try one last go at the casino after we checked out. Josie took $50 and Bob took $50. After playing until about 1 PM, we left the casino with the original $100. All in all, the casinos were very friendly to us for the whole trip. We stopped in Flagstaff on the way home to deposit our "winnings" in the bank and to buy some groceries.

We arrived in Happy Jack at 7 PM and met with Jaymie who reviewed the status of everything at the lodge. She said that it had been very slow while we were gone and that we should use our judgement on opening and closing times. This morning we will be at the store at 7:30 to get pictures of Jaymie and Chi Chi on their bikes as they leave for Vegas for their 4 day bike rally. There are expected to be in the neighborhood of 30,000 bikes in Vegas for the rally. We're glad we will miss that spectacle. We will also take care of their little dog, Mystique, while they are gone.

It looks like even more of our seasonal customers have left for the winter. There are a lot of empty spaces now around our fifth wheel. The weather is turning cooler and the days are getting shorter so decisions need to be made pretty soon about where we are going. We do expect these decisions to get easier though as time goes on. For example, we do know we can come back here next summer - in fact the management is counting on it. Things will work out.

Later...
