After we visited the Castle, we headed to Mesquite Spring Campground. We picked out a site from the many that were not taken - lots to choose from since there were only 2 other campers there. After we got everything set up we walked over to the self service pay station & paid our $12 for 2 nights.

Left Snow Canyon on Sunday Dec 17 & headed to Las Vegas. Arrived at Arizona Charlie’s Boulder RV Park in time to see the Denver Broncos football game. After the Broncos won we went to the casino & had dinner at the Wild West Buffet. It was not the best buffet we have been to in Las Vegas but it was good. Monday morning we took the Sightseer to Findlay RV just across from AZ Charlie to have a recall worked on & to check out the Furnace. When they were done we drove to The Olive Garden for an early [View Full Entry]

Before we left the Park we drove to the Visitor Center and foundout the whole Park had no power. We took a short walk [View Full Entry]
