March 26, 2019 Red Rock Canyon

Mileage:  60,069 Oasis RV Resort Las Vegas, Nevada

We started the day by heading to the laundromat.  We met a couple from Florida.  They have been fulltime RVing for the past 12 years.  We told them we planned to go to Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Dam and they told us not to take the RV on the scenic loop or across the dam.  They recommended a campground in Las Vegas.  We called and made a reservation for the next couple of nights.  While we were washing clothes, the Jeep dealer called.  We finished the laundry and went to pick up our Jeep.

We headed south to Vegas.  The Oasis RV Resort is the swankiest RV resort we have ever stayed at. 

After resting we drove to Red Rock Canyon.  There were lots of cars and people there today.  I realized how spoiled we have been, driving through canyons without passing any other people! 

There are more than 2,000 climbing routes in the park.  We watched people suspended from ropes belaying down the mountainside.  We also saw people clambering up the sandstone rockfaces.  We took lots of pictures…see if you can spot the itty-bitty climbers.

There were a couple of people painting.

This was a pretty drive.

We couldn’t resist the opportunity to go off-road for a little while. 

More scenery.

Did you know that the Raiders are moving to Vegas? They are working on the stadium. They even their logo on the on-site concrete plant .

Once we were back at the RV, Tim looked online and found a 4 Wheel Parts store nearby.  He wanted to go and look.  He has been wanting bigger tires and wheels, and a few other things, for weeks.  Tim met Carl and they talked Jeep parts.

The parts are ordered and our installation is scheduled for next Tuesday.  We haven’t decided yet how we will spend the week, but we are going to Hoover Dam tomorrow!
