Friday April 21st 2017

The high temperature today was in the upper 70s with a good breeze during the first half of the day. It was a very comfortable day. The dip in temperature from the previous couple of days is short lived. The forecast for the weekend is for higher temperatures. In fact, the area is forecast to have its first 90 plus degree day. I’ve already had more 90 degree days during March in Arizona than I used to experience it a full summer.

I extended my stay here in Las Vegas for another week this morning. This will allow me to use the show ticket I bought by mistake for Thursday night. I will also be able to see a few more of the area sights and take advantage of the services the area provides. I’d like to get the RV washed while I’m here and I should do some shopping while I’m in a city with a good selection of stores. I have a list of things I need, some I would like and a few dreams that I might buy sometime. The problem is I really don’t like shopping.

The lines in the Bass Pro parking lot are fish silhouettes. It’s over the top cute.

To get started on the shopping I went to the Bass Pro Shop this afternoon. Some of the things on my list could be bought there, but I really wanted to check out the fish tank exhibits and taxidermy displays. Finding items on my shopping list was a secondary mission. I may go back for a couple of things, but initially the price scared me off.

The Bass Pro Shop is at the Silverton Casino south of the strip off I-15. It is about 14 or 15 miles from my RV. It took me over an hour to get back at 3:30 in the afternoon. Rush hour in this city seems to start around three and go until seven or later. Once back at my RV home, I was in for the night.
