Hello and Welcome to Laughlin, Nevada! We have no internet access here so I am updating my blog from my Blackberry.
We left Yuma at around 10am and took our time getting to Laughlin at around 3:30. We stopped at Parker, Arizona to a casino named Blue Water. We have never been there before. It’s a tiny casino and there’s not much too it. It’s easy access from 95 (Nevada side, not California side). Nothing to really brag about there. We spent about an hour there and moved on.
So, we have reached Laughlin and I do love this place. I did get awesome pictures today but you’ll have to wait for me to catch a WiFi to see them on my blog.
We found a nice spot in an RV park here in Laughlin and it was enough space to back up the Montana and not have to unhook the truck. We are walking distance across the street from the casino. On Casino Drive, the street that we are staying on has about 7 or 8 casinos on it. We can easily walk to about five casino but the ones at the end of the Casino Drive is a little further out for walking distance.
Anyways, we are in Laughlin until Monday and then moving northbound to Vegas for about a month. I saw on the weather channel that there is rain in the forecast in Laughlin and Vegas for Monday thru Thursday. It’s okay with us because we are going to each buy a monthly unlimited access bus pass in Vegas for $55 to get around. Not a bad deal at all.
Tonight we visited two casinos and I lost about $40 overall. I’ll try to win something from the slot machines tomorrow. Tomorrow morning we are taking Jake for a walk along the boardwalk that runs right between the casinos and the Colorado River. I’ll bring my camera with me to catch some beautiful shots of the Colorado River and the casinos.
Well, I am a tad tired so I’m signing off for the night. I’ll be back tomorrow. As for my healing from my bike accident on Monday, everything is pretty much healed up and I can see that I will hold scars to never let me forget what happened. Jake’s doing awesome too. He’s asleep on the couch next to me. Have a great night!

Hello! Yes, we are moving on…..leaving Arizona tomorrow for Laughlin, Nevada (<- click for Laughlin tourism website). I love Laughlin, there are about seven or eight casinos that sit on the edge of the Colorado River in Laughlin. I will get pictures to show you how pretty the Colorado River is. I’ve been to Laughlin before and I always look forward to going back. There is an RV park across the street from one of the casinos that we stay at. The RV park does have a paid internet router service but I will not be hooking up to it because we are only staying in Laughlin for two days. There’s really not a whole lot to do in Laughlin but if you are a casino lover – you are in heaven. The pictures I will take will have to wait to be posted when I get to Vegas next week because I can blog to you on my Blackberry everyday but can’t post pictures on my blog from my Blackberry (bummer).

So, what did we do today? Packed up a little bit. It was a tad windy today with winds getting up to 30 mph. We loaded the bicycles on the RV and packed away the outside table and all the chairs. We are not in a rush to leave in the morning. Laughlin is a little over 200 miles from Yuma! Easy skip over to there. Tonight we went to the Quechan Casino, ugh, I didn’t do too well at all there today, lost about 100 bucks.

As for Jake, he’s doing super! He eats his new food twice a day, takes his medicine twice a day and has a treat once a day. I got two emails today asking how he’s doing. I’ve got people calling me “Crash” and asking how Jake is doing. “Hey Crash, how is Jake doing?” Nice, huh? I’ve got great friends! In the slight chance that you were wonder how I’m doing. I’m doing great. Healing nicely, the hand and knee will take a little longer to get better, but I can walk just fine. Don’t need a disability plaque card just yet

All in all, everything is great. Arizona was fun and we did a lot, but time to move on. Hope everyone is doing good and thanks for checking on me (or checking on Jake!) – LOL!
