NEVADA  -  DAY 21  -  10.11.23

So here we are in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Not for the Strip or the gambling or to visit anyone.  We are staying at Nellis Air Force Base in their FamCamp.  I've stayed in a lot of FamCamps over the years and this is one of my favorites.  The sites are HUGE and shaded and well-kept and CHEAP!  We'll spend $27 a night here.  This Queen of Cheap is happy!

After we got set up in our site we took a short ride to get the lay of the land once again.  It's been a couple of years since we've stayed here.  The Commisary and BX were found once again so we'll be using those for sure.

One thing we forgot was that this base is home to the Thunderbirds!  When we first heard the first jet coming in for the evening poor Abby didn't know what the sound was and didn't know what to do.  To be honest, I also said, "What's that?"  Then it registered.  Oh well, after two days we won't even hear them anymore.  We hope to be able to get out to the flight line to watch them land or perhaps take off,,,,if they take off in the midafternoon that is.

When we took a ride outside the base and returned, we followed this car in.

We both noticed it at the same time.  We decided to follow him.

We finally got to talk with the fellow when he parked in the base hospital parking lot.  When he got out of his car I told him that we too were from Delaware.  He chuckled and said that he wasn't from Delaware but was stationed at Dover Air Force Base and had just transferred here and he hadn't had a chance to get his tags changed over yet.  He went on to say how much he enjoyed Delaware and that we have great beaches.  Of course, we knew that already.  He did say he was going to enjoy playing golf year round here.

Vegas is very busy this week as this coming weekend there is a NASCAR race  and the PGA has an event going on.

We sat out this evening enjoying our neighbors and the beautiful weather.
