Day trip

Good morning.
Another week sailed by! How time flies!
Anyway, on Wed. we packed up the car and headed up to Valley of Fire State Park.
It looks a lot like Red Rock Canyon National Park, but bigger. The pics didn't turn out very good. For some reason, the color just is as intense as in person

But we drove through a lot of red rock formations. Didn't do any hiking as it was very warm at just over 100. But it looks like a place we'll go back to when it's cooler.
It was about an hours drive from our house. We had decided to make a little trip out of it, so we headed farther north to Mesquite NV. It's right on the border with Arizona. We had lunch at the Conestoga Golf Club. It's in Sun City Mesquite, another age 55 community like our Sun City Aliante.
Their community is 1000 homes larger, and the grill is larger also. It was very nice, good food and nice views.
Then we headed over to the Casa Blanca Casino Resort, where we had booked a room.

They have a very large outdoor pool area. Really nice! Rooms were large, if a little dated, but clean.
Did some gambling, not good, ate Nathans hot dogs for dinner, very good, and danced to live music they had in their lounge, pretty good.
So was a nice little day/night trip.
And here's the latest puzzle I finished....

Currently picking up mail for just one neighbor. Everyone else is currently back. But one couple leaves next week, and another the week after that. Replanted my 2 pots with vinca for the summer. They did really good last year in the heat, and very colorful.
The rest of the yard is looking pretty good also. I'll try to remember to take some pics.
I guess that's all for now.
