Our first day on the road was a long one. We spent at least an hour loading up the motor home this morning, so we didn't exactly get an early start. I watched while Jim brought in load after load of food, wine and clothing, paying special attention to the dog food and chicken treats. I had to make sure we didn't forget the important stuff. Kathe's job was to stow things away and try to remember where she put everything. Note to self: extra chicken treats are under the bed.
The drive was pretty boring, nothing to look at but desert and more desert. I twiddled my paws until all of a sudden we saw the monstrous hotels on the strip. We were lucky enough to arrive in town right in the middle of rush hour. I thought traffic was bad in Los Angeles, but this place is much worse. Seven lanes of bumper to bumper traffic for at least 12 miles before we finally found our exit.
Now I must tell you about the Hitchin' Post RV Resort. Somebody must have paid off Trailer Life, Trip Adviser and the Good Sam Club. This place is rated 9.5-9.5-9.5 !!!! Well, it's true they do have paved roads and a grassy dog park like the review said, but they left out one tiny detail. NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE. It's right next to us. The fighter jets were dive bombing right overhead when we arrived and just stopped about an hour ago. We're going to sleep now while it's quiet. They told me there will be an early wake up call. An F-18 Super Hornet wake-up call!
