Arizona Charlie’s Casino & RV Park, Las Vegas, NV:  Up this morning and quickly realized we had ants everywhere.  Discovered a few years ago that if you spray insects with Fantastic or 409 it kills them instantly.  And you clean at the same time. Cleaned up the worst of them and then headed to the grocery store to pick up some groceries and get some ant traps.  Came back, put everything away and set out the traps.  After lunch we headed down to Hoover Dam.  It’s now 102 out there.  About an hour drive from Las Vegas down to the dam.  Pretty impressive.  And the new bridge is finished, which is way high.  After walking around the different vantage points of the dam and the bridge, we headed back to Las Vegas.  It’s now only 100.  Back to our site and walked over to the casino right here in this park, had some dinner, and played some slots.  Ate in the fancy restaurant.  Had the best meal we’ve had since we got to Vegas.  I had surf and turf and Mike had steak Dianne.  Really good.  As usual I lost money at the slots.  Mike was having much better luck, so I walked back. It would be fun to win big—just once.

Way high bridge on I93/I95--just opened

This bunker is high on the canyon wall overlooking the dam  and was used by sharpshooters during WWII to take out anyone on the dam that shouldn't be there.

High scalers that removed the loose rock on the canyon walls--high bridge in the background.
