The Journey Back to WA

We are headed back to WA and our neighbors are sad to see us go at least we got that impression. This is our next door neighbor from Portland OR great neighbors they say that about us also. Both of us have street rods and Jerry and Rich go to the Barrett Jackson show together in January. We really enjoy this couple we golf together and the guys talk cars and really enjoy each others company.

Rich and Nancy arrived back to AZ on April 1 and brought their daughter in law and grandson with them. Below you will see Rich and his grandson Brayln and Jerry and Ark and SAW. He loved the motor home he come inside and sat in the drivers seat wish I would have had a picture of that. Brayln will be 2 on April 17th.


Well we got on the road Saturday April 5 around 9:30 and headed north. We drove to Vegas area and stayed at a park near Sams town in the Hoover Dam area. Had some dinner and did a little gambling and Barb left Vegas with some of their money and Jerry broke even. On Sunday we got up had some breakfast at the casino and headed north to Jackpot NV close to the Idaho boarder. Long day and the state of Nevada is anything but beautiful. Apparently no industry so guess they have nothing going for them but the casino towns. We arrived Jackpot, NV at 5:30 pm so drove 7 1/2 hours. We had a dinner and then hit the slot machines for a couple hours and Barb walked out with some of their money played all night on their money and then even managed to take some with her. Jerry just held his own didn't leave much and didn't take any with him. Left Monday am and headed in to Idaho and then picked up I-84 which runs along the southern border of Idaho and the nothern border of OR. We had not been on this route but really enjoyed this route very pretty country and it also is the Lewis & Clark trail route. Drove to Pendleton OR and guess what found a Crazy Horse RV park which was a indian casino. YES! we have had our share of gambling but Jerry managed to take some of their money with him so all in all we done well. Barb only left 20.00 of her winnings from NV so that was good.

We arrived home Tuesday afternoon and we had sunny weather all the way it was a very good trip. Our Neighbors in Auburn was happy to see us come back. So guess we have friends & familly in both places that miss us when we are gone. That is a good thing.
