Day 3 Oasis RV Resort Las Vegas, Nevada

The furnace was making a really bad clunking noise.  Tim had gone up on the roof and taken the cover off, but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong.  We called a mobile RV repair guy and he could get here between 1-3. 

We decided to take a bike ride this morning and be back in time for the repairman.  We drove to Acacia Park in Henderson.  First, we took the 215 Beltway Trail.  The scenery was not much.  As the name suggests, the bike trail follows the highway!

After a couple of miles, we turned around and from the same park we were able to access the Union Pacific Rail Trail.  It was a great day for a ride.  On the way away from town it was a slow, gradual, uphill climb, but we had the help of a tailwind. 

We stopped and got sandwiches from Capriotti’s.

On the way back to the car it was downhill with a mild headwind. 

The RV repairman got to us shortly after 1pm.  The squirrel cage had cracked and needed to be replaced.  This is apparently a common problem.  The guy knew exactly what to look for based on our reported symptoms.  He had the new part in his van!  Thankfully an easy fix!

I rode my bike in the campground for awhile and then took my book to the pool.  Another little bit of heaven!

After dinner we took a ride on Las Vegas Boulevard or “The Strip.”  We took the roof off halfway through our ride so we could enjoy the view above!

Opening Day!! Go O’s!!!
