Pahrump, NV

We arrived in Pahrump, NV to investigate if this is a place that we might want to winter in the future. There is not much in tourism here. We have asked several people if there is any site seeing, but they said nothing but desert. The big attraction is the weather in winter and the casinos.
We have decided that this is nice for some it is not our cup of tea. We don't particularly like the desert, although we are surrounded by mountains. Brenda just loves the mountains, but she doesn't understand why.
There are many expensive homes here, but they are landscaped with gravel, sand and rocks. Not too much vegetation. We have always been around lawns, trees and bushes, so we don't really like it here.

We are headed to Lake Havasu City from here for a couple of days to see about wintering there.
We have heard that there is a lot to do there and the RV vendors come in droves there in December, January and February. There is all kinds of RV repair there, too. But, we will be there early, so we will see what is there.

This is a nice park here. Level sites, nice clubhouse, but, this is the desert after all, so little or no trees. Fortunately, the temperatures have been in the high 70's during the day so it has been pleasant. We have good wifi and good satellite reception.

I, now have setup the HD satellite dish 3 times now with good luck. It has taken just a few minutes to align the dish. It takes more time to assemble the sled, so I am looking to get a tripod when we get to Timber Ridge.

We have been to the casinos here. They are nice, but although we are only 65 miles from Vegas,
the casinos here lack the glitter of Vegas. They are small and don't have the entertainment of the casinos in Vegas.
Brenda has had a good time, but we have spent all that we plan to gambling.

Ta ta for now.
