Tuesday, May 7, 2013, Las Vegas, NV

We got up early and started our daily coffee and computer routine.

At 10 we went to Chicago Title to meet Linda and Gary and signed the final papers for the land sale.  At the tile company I also got a letter signed and notarized  authorizing the withdrawal and wiring the funds to the title company.  We faxed the letter to the credit union along with the instructions for where to wire the money.  Later I got a call from the credit union to verify our account information and the deal was done.  We got club house and mailbox keys from Linda along with the electronic gate opener for the resort.  Does this make us land barons in Arizona?

After getting back to the resort we got the coach ready to travel and then visited with the Kerslakes.  After a while Alice said oh my gosh, I had a dental appointment.   She called and they told her to come on in.  We quickly finished our goodbyes.  Alice sped off and we pulled out shortly afterward.

All in all this was an enjoyable short trip.  We enjoyed a beautiful area, I did some caching and visited with good friends.  The only downside was that we only got to see Keith one evening because of his business trip.

The drive home was 153 miles and took three and a half hours, including fueling up at Sam's.  It is a sad commentary when you think $3.559 a gallon is cheap fuel.

We did encounter some heavy rain just north of Searchlight, actually it bordered on hail.  We had another rain shower at Railroad Pass.  Traffic wasn't too heavy and we got home about 4 PM.  The temperature was about 70.  It didn't take long to take things out of the motorhome and we were finished with that before dark.

Before retiring I went through the mail that had come during the week.  It is amazing how much we get, more than half went directly into the trash.  The rest amounted to just checking it out.  After an hour I ended up with one bill and two approvals for upcoming medical procedures.
