New GMC Dually rolled over 3000 miles. Power to spare. Fun to drive.
Dry no wind.
Have the whole famdamly, except the crazy kid. He doesn't travel with us ever.

Did Can Am runs.
Pioneer Saloon always a good trip. Finally fully staffed and full Menu.

Visited more family in town.

In route from camp along Las Vegas bl north just minutes from camp fuel prices are almost $1 a gallon cheaper than Jean.
Drive 5 min, save $100, even more with the Ralph’s club points.

Went to see Bob Zany at the MGM.
Park free across the street in the Tropicana oversized parking. 2 minute walk to the excellent comedy club.
Not a show for woke liberals. 3 comics.

Did a Golden Steer dinner run and arguably prices have doubled since Covid, maybe even higher. Expensive since the place went viral on TicTok.

Wifie gleaned a full pickup bed of junk left behind by other campers.
Terribles has a dumpster available a few min away.

Jean gas prices are stupid. I'm never stopping there for gas again... or doughnuts. They were the smallest doughnuts I've ever seen. My Krispy Kreme Bavarian Cream was about the side of a regular donut hole the Asians throw in the bag for free at local donut places.

I only buy KKremes at their locations in the AM when they make them fresh. Amazing.

Our girls love them no matter what. They loose weight Nuke then eating them then spend hours burning them off on dance revolution in the TH garage.

You were at Jean dry lake bed? I want to try there, will new years be a zoo like glamis? I hate crowds, looking for new camping places within reason of havasu

It’s going to rain I’d avoid the dry lake itself turns to mud quickly. Camp in the surrounding south hard pack or higher elevation areas if possible.

We’ve even muscle trucked the TH up to the shooting range/emergency landing strip.
Camp on the extreme North end.

Broken glass galore so we avoid it if possible and shooters with compensators use that range and their rifles are so loud your underwear turns around you’ll be wearing it backwards.

A few miles North at the M on LV Blvd there is a green grocer with Shell pumps that is far cheaper than the Terribles.

Kroger card knocks another dollar off per gallon. The Jean/Primm Terribles is the most expensive fuel in Clark County. An occasional few gallons to top off the Can Am, I'm simply paying for convenience.

A Buc-ees would be fantastic here.

If anyone ever wants to join us would be cool. We never bring the crazy kid on any our trips to anyplace, so don't let that stop you.
