This has been an interesting trip. My first trip to an office, especially to a city that I have never visited before, is always interesting. Flew into Las Vegas on Tuesday and drove down to Bullhead City. The airport in Vegas is ridiculous. I was here about a year ago for a conference, and it was really crowded then, but really, it’s BAD. Way too many people, way too many cars!! What a pain.
Anywho, the drive down was nice. It’s definitely a different landscape. SO brown, and more mountains that I expected. It reminded me of Eastern Washington, and Phoenix, too.
Ever been to this area? Bullhead City is not exactly a thriving metropolis! If you’ve never been here, these two cities are across the Colorado River from each other. Laughlin is like a little Las Vegas, with pretty big hotel/casinos lining the riverbank. A couple of them must be like 25 stories or more. You just don’t expect that out here in the middle of the desert! Probably kind of like when Vegas was a “baby”?
The majority of the folks here are snowbirds. I haven’t seen one child/teenager/young person since I got here! On the street behind all the casinos, the far side is all RV parking. I’ll have to snap some pics before I leave. It has a certain unique character. Not exactly dazzling or anything. Gotta wonder what attracts people to move here. Perhaps there are other areas with more redeeming qualities that I just haven’t seen yet. 
The office I’m working in is new, and the folks are very nice. Kinda stiff, but they’re warming up to me. (How could you not? I’m such a goofball!)
Toodles!
