Homeward Bound

[Big Arm]

We left Tucson on Monday, and gave my brother a ride to Yuma, then headed to Las Vegas to visit our daughter and her family. We arrived there in the early evening, so we spent a couple hrs. with them before heading to our room for the night.
Next day was spent visiting and seeing a few of the new casinos. Wed. we took the spyder down the strip for a photo opt.
I have to thank my grandson for some great pics of the Spyder and the strip. I think he did a great job while enjoying the ride.
He took a great picture of the Spyder and I, in front of Paris Hotel and Casino for me. I worked as an electrician, on this hotel for over a year while it was under construction, in '98 and '99, so it's always nice to come back and see it. We'll be leaving here on Fri. and heading home to Iowa. The snow is gone, and time to get the lawn mower out.

Take your time and plan your route along I-44 and come to the CUBA MO event next week-end 16-18 April.. I know that gives you a week but just drive slow and it will take you a week to get to CUBA.. It's somewhat along the way if you plan it right, but everything is ALONG THE WAY right???...

Well this was the day we have to leave Vegas and get on the road for home.
Wow..... What a day this was........:yes:

After loading the spyder, we headed for the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. My daughter and family surprised me with a ride with the Richard Petty Riding Experience.:clap: What an experience that was....... :yikes: 165mph in the straight aways, and 135 in the corners. :yikes:
I have to say, ........try it if you ever get the chance........ my driver floored it all the way around the track and those corners come up fast, even on a mile and a half track........not to mention how close you hug the outside wall.....
Anyway, had a great time, and said our goodbys with a tear here and there, then jumped on the I-15 and headed north.......

That sounds like a great experience, a very nice surprise, and not too shabby of a way to say goodbye as well. :2thumbs:
