Laughlin Nevada, Valencia ,Ca., Ronald Reagan Library (7/6 - 7/9)

Tonight is 7/18 and I'm trying to catch up a little on my posts. We are currently in Carson City, Nevada. Today we drove around the east side of Lake Tahoe. The past two weeks have gone very quickly and I will try to catch up during the next couple of days.The pictures take a long time to download and some of the areas have limited cell phone signal which is were I get my internet.

On July 5th we headed back up the mountain to Flagstaff and then west to Laughlin, Nevada. This was a one night boogie stop and when we arrived it was 102 degrees with a hot wind blowing. We plugged into the 50amp power and cranked up the A/C units and packed it in for the night. Laughlin is on the Arizona/Nevada border along the Colorado River. There is a lot of recreation here and of course the casinos. We didn't venture anywhere.

We drove to Valencia Ca. to a campground we have stayed in twice before. It is about an hour from LA and between two highways but still a nice spot. The next day we headed to Simi Valley about 45 minutes away to visit the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

The library sits on the top of a high bluff with a great view of the surrounding area. It is a very beautiful setting. The library was very interesting and we enjoyed it very much. One of the coolest things was the Reagan Air Force One. It is a 707 jet inside the building. Really neat. The displays brought back all that was accomplished during the Reagan Presidency and what a remarkable man he was. We need another Reagan in todays political climate. We had a great time.

On July 9th we headed out to Yosemite Pines RV park which is northwest of the park. Read the next post to get the details on our ride. I will post all the pictures after I have brought the posts up to date.

Life is Great!!
This sign was in our campground. I guess they don't want you parking there.

It's hard to believe better days are to come.

Good Question!

Campaign Information.

Do you think it's to late to run?

Trumps new office?
