Today we drove through the Mojave National Preserve and Death Valley. It was what you might expect from a desert; hot, dry and dusty. We saw tumble weeds and joshua trees, huge piles of dirt and rock and the ocassional dry lake.
Did you know that Death Valley is the lowest point on earth? It is 282 feet below sea level and also holds the record for the highest temperature recorded in the western hemisphere (134 degrees). That was just a little factoid to give significance to this part of the trip.
We arrived at the Las Vegas Oasis RV Park around 11am. We are pleasantly surprised by our campsite. We have a premium site, which gives us a small grassy lawn located steps from the clubhouse and pools/spa. We have already decided to stay an extra day in Vegas to get a break from the drive. Brian has plans to play poker and I want to see the lights of the city.
We took Sienna to the pool. She loved it of course. Brian played a cash game of poker hosted at the clubhouse and broke even. When he returned from the game, I went to soak in the hot tub. Looking forward to tomorrow. We are headed to the strip.
