Made It To Laughlin Area..............



about 1600 this afternoon. Didn't stop in Quartzsite but "B" took some pics as we whizzed through............well, I guess I lied, checked the computer before we left and saw that a new cache had been placed near Quartzsite and hadn't been found yet. So we drove out West of QS to look for it. No luck. I see where the cache has apparently been published with incorrect coordinates. We might stop again on the way back to Yuma. We stopped and found three caches on the way to the Avi Casino where we are staying for 4 nights. Two of them were virtuals and the virtuals are always interesting because they generally direct you to some history or someplace with a nice view. There's a ghost town about 15 miles East which we might drive out to tomorrow if weather cooperates. We got checked into our room and WiFi is available with a good connection so Becky won't go into withdrawals. TV is another story.........only able to get a few local channels with a lot of news channels, plus pay movies. Guess the casino wants you spending money and not hanging around watching TV. Got some nice XXX movies though.....at least the titles look interesting. They cost $13.99 to view; but, guess that would be cheaper than gambling.

We had a nice buffet this evening and Thursday was "2 for 1" so we both got to eat for the price of one buffet. If we had left the slot machines alone the dinner would have been pretty cheap. Tomorrow is seafood night so guess we'll have to give it a try. Caching Event isn't until Saturday evening so we have plenty of time to get in some sight seeing (make that geocaching) before then. Weather kinda iffy though.

Here's a few pictures taken while whizzing though QS, the cache we never found and some caches we did find. Later W&B
