OCT 30, 26 (1 / 2 ).. NEVADA DAY.. HOME TO LAKE HAVASU CITY..

Yes indeed NATIONAL TODAY, both Patti and I can relate to NEVADA DAY..

Dating back to late April 2021, which is now about 5-1/2 years ago, Patti and I have spent time visiting Michigan friends who relocated there in Laughlin, Nevada, which is located in the Southern part of Nevada across the Colorado River from Bullhead City, Arizona. We fly into Las Vegas, Nevada.

Years prior to this we have spent time in Reno, Nevada. One of the most important Recovery Meetings in my life took place in 1988 in Elko, Nevada. So we have a lot of Nevada Memories.

Nevada wasn’t always the gorgeous, contemporary, cutting-edge destination it is today. Native American groups, including the Washoe, Paiute, and Shoshone, once lived throughout the state. When the Spaniards initially colonized the land, the tribes were displaced. They named the state ‘Nevada,’ which means ‘covered in snow’ in Spanish because the mountains are covered with snow throughout the winter months.

As part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, Mexico took sovereignty over Nevada after gaining independence in 1821. However, following the U.S. victory in the Mexican-American War in 1848, the state was rapidly recaptured by the U.S. and became part of the Utah Territory in 1850.

After the discovery of silver at the Comstock Lode, Nevada became known to many people as the “Silver State.”

The Comstock Lode was the first major discovery of silver ore in the United States, located under the eastern slope of Mount Davidson in Virginia City, Nevada.

Odd but interesting. NATIONAL TODAY did not make one mention of the Gambling side of Nevada.

LAKE HAVASU CITY..

Patti and I are now “back home” in our Lake Havasu City apartment.

We were up at 8:30am. After eating breakfast and packing our bags, we checked out of the Edgewater Casino Hotel right on time at 11am. Then I spent (this is hard for me to believe) almost three hours shopping at Sam’s Club in Bullhead City, Arizona. We spent $556.

At 2pm we headed for Lake Havasu City, Arizona, our winter home. En route we made a Wendy’s stop for Frosty’s on Interstate 40 at Arizona Highway 95. Then a stop at Walmart in LHC. Checked our mail. A stop to give our friend Michael a tub of Christmas Peanut Brittle (we bought eight tubs) and we arrived at our Arizona Winter Home round 5pm. Then we unloaded while we still had some daylight. Our apartment is 72 miles from the Edgewater Casino Hotel. Too funny, but we got lost in Lake Havasu City finding Michael’s home. Michael is the one who brought us to Lake Havasu City to see where he had relocated to from Alaska about 12 years ago, so we know his home and location well !!

Yes we are tired.
