A bummer day

Today started out in Beaver, Utah. The place I posted last night. The weather reports were BAD, so we got going early to move south and to the sun. The trip down I-15 was just fine until we got to "Virgin Canyon" There had been a lot of wind but was mostly on our tail. Then the bummer happened, as we were crossing a bridge in a canon, we got a gust of wind that made the right side of the motor home go Opps. I thought it was the awning blowing out. Fortunately there was a quick pull off. When I looked outside at things I found that the right side of the motor home roof had come loose. I'll explain this later after I find out the seriousness of it all. So I got up on the top in the wind and did a major speed tape fix. (Duck Tape) That stuff works for airplanes and NASCAR, so it worked for us. 20 miles later we parked at Oasis Casino in Mesquite, Nevada. Here is my temporary repairs. Tomorrow I have a borrowed ladder set up an I will try to put things in a better condition.




In the mean time. We parked at the Oasis Casino where we where two years ago. Another, Opps---The casino was closed because of our economy. Guess Obama has not bailed out the casinos yet. Anyway, we just had to walk up the street to find one that was open. (Owned by the same folks)





Kind of neat. First two pictures are of a empty casino and the two pictures of a full casino. I guess they have that much control of our money. As to our gambling. We went in with our normal 20 bucks each. Currently we have $32 left. We will be here for two days. Sue sill do laundry and I will look at the roof. Any way we are parked in a nice spot.




We are settled in for the evening watching the Biggest Loser. I want to want to watch Dancing with the Stars next. Night for now. Resting in Nevada. Charlie was upset so was in hidding so he doesn't to finish the blog.
