Monday 27~~~~ We had a long day driving today, we drove to Caldwell, Idaho about 340 miles. I always pack a lunch with extra snacks and lots of water for us, so we don't have to try and park the camper and waste time. It is so nice having our own food, water and Potty with us, so we don't have to stop if we don't want to. I am reading an old book ( Backstairs of the White House) to Kent while he drives and this one is very good about the lives of the Roosevelt's, Truman's Eisenhower's and Kennedy's during their terms in the White House. We stayed at the Elk's Club, we were so tired and we didn't go inside, we just turned the air on and ate dinner and watched television. We are meeting our friends John and Linda tomorrow at Jackpot, Nevada.
Tuesday 28~~~~We got to Jackpot late afternoon and after we got set up, we walked over to John and Linda's trailer and the four of us walked to the Casino where we ate dinner and gambled a little. We were tired, so we didn't stay out to late. Wednesday 29~~~~We walked to the post office and mailed some cards stopping at a dumpy small casino on the way home and lost $10 real fast. I fixed us lunch and after we ate, John and Linda came over and we played cards until time to go out for dinner at the casino. The four of us each put $10 in a machine and we tried a few different slot machines before stopping at the "DUKE" slot machine. We started winning on the machine and then losing and then repeating it again. We had so much fun we played for a couple of hours on the silly thing before we finally lost all our money except 4 cents. It was the most fun and we each only lost $10. We are leaving in the morning for Selina, Utah.
