This beautiful young lady is Zoe Marivel Nadeau, 8# 10oz., and Landon’s new 2nd cousin. Welcome to the family.
After a nice, relaxing morning, it was time to hit the road, or at least the street. As in the street right in front of the rig.
Because we’ll be spending the next week here under a different plan, we have to move to a different site. In this case, we moved from here

to here. About 25 feet away.
And then next Sunday we’ll do it again, which will take us up to May 1st when we plan on moving up the road to Las Vegas for a couple of weeks.
I spent part of the afternoon trying to map out our travels after we leave Las Vegas. As it stands now, we plan on a couple of weeks at the Encore Park in South Lake Tahoe, and then a couple of weeks at the Thousand Trails park in Bend, OR.
We’ve never been to the Tahoe area so something new will be nice, and we really enjoy the Bend area, so that will be nice too.
After Bend we’ll start working our way east up to Jackson Hole/Grand Teton, through Yellowstone, and then on to Cody, WY for a few days to see our friends Al and Adrienne.
After that, it will be Billings, MT to visit a friend, Gillette, WY for the Escapade, and then South Dakota to renew our Drivers Licenses.
After that, we’ll see.
About 4:15 Jan and I headed over to Nick and Terry’s, and then ended up at Famous Dave’s BBQ once again, the 2nd time in 3 days.
You can’t have too much Famous Dave’s.
After a great meal, and then getting back home, we decided not to walk tonight because the wind that had sprung up this afternoon had stirred up a lot of dust and it was bothering Jan’s sinuses.
We’ll see how tomorrow goes.
Thought for the Day:
If it gets warmer, it’s climate change.
If it gets colder, it’s climate change.
If it stays the same, it’s climate change that hasn’t happened . . . yet.

Snakehole and Steakhouse . . .
West across Idaho Rd from our RV park there’s this sign out in the scrub brush.
I saw pathways and some benches along the way, and at first I thought it was maybe just a walking path, and that the sign was a joke.
I mean, does this look like a golf course to you?
But looking closer I saw flags marking the holes. Except, aren’t the holes supposed to be located on things with grass called ‘greens’?
That looks more dirt colored to me.
But as it turns out, the 20 acre – 9 hole course is located on land leased from the state of Arizona. It’s origins are a little blurry, but the story goes it was developed about 30 years ago by a Countryside RV Resort resident whose wife said she would only live in the area if she could golf nearby.
Snakehole Golf Course and Resort
Currently membership is restricted to Countryside RV Resort residents and the 125 members pay dues of $20 a year which goes toward the $1800 a year lease.
I mean, you’ve really got to want to play golf to end up here, don’t you.
After coffee, I spent the morning tackling a bunch of small repairs around the coach. It always seems easier to me to let these little things accumulate and then knock a bunch of them out at once. Seems like I’ve accomplished more.
But on the upside, I spent the afternoon finishing up Big Lake Blizzard the 4th book in Nick Russell’s very popular Big Lake murder mystery series. If you like murder mysteries with a lot of humor, you’ll love this series. Another great read from Nick. Check it out.
About 4pm we headed over to meet Nick and Terry for a dinner get-together. And after a short discussion we ended up at Los Gringos Locos once again.
I had the Carnitas Dinner and Jan had the Grilled Catch of the Day. I’m sorry, but who goes to a Mexican restaurant and orders fish. Fish Tacos, maybe, but Grilled Fish?
Of course, Jan sometimes orders the Alice Springs Chicken when we go to Outback STEAKhouse. So who knows.
After dinner we ended up back at Nick and Terry’s for a while talking and listening to some more audio book auditions.
Getting back to the rig, we headed out about 7:30pm for our 1 mile+ walk, the first time we’ve done one after dark.
It was nice and cool, but we had to be careful where we walked because the park roads are rough in some places.
Tomorrow – The Big Move!
