We had been to Hoover Dam a couple of times since moving to Arizona, but in July, 2018 we went again with my mother, who had never seen the dam.

In August 2016, we were in Las Vegas for a competition, and we had a little extra time. So we drove over to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, about 16 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip.

There really hasn't been much to say over the last few days, as we waited for our appointment with Cummins Onan in Las Vegas. We hunkered down in our RV and just tried to survive the heat. Las Vegas in the summer is not the place to be if you don't have enough A/C. We … Continue reading Arizona: Generator update
Last Wednesday, we got a call from the repair shop. They had done all they could to fix our generator, but had determined with assistance from the generator manufacturer that we needed to "reprogram the generator controller".
