When doing my research for the Tuscan area I accidentally came across this little gem of history.

The Tucson Rodeo Parade Museum is located in the historic Tucson Rodeo Ground.

Cost: $12.00 Adults, $ 9.00 for Seniors

We had the most amazing tour guide by the name of Bob. Bob was a wealth of information that made this tour so great.

A few displays set up of the Tuscan History.

They have quite the collection of saddles.

We even got to tour their tac room.

This Museum has over 100 horse drawn vehicles on display. Even a few that appeared in the Antique Road Show!

Here are a few pictures

This is a working wagon, it spends it winters here at the museum and then on the trails for the summers.

A fully functional mini steam model locomotive track, along with everything you could think of what Tucson would have looked like after the train station arrived.

Here is a little did you know!!!

While I was back home in Saskatchewan in February for the birth of our twin granddaughters, Myron stayed south with Bella and Rider. The weather was a lot cooler, with a lot more rain, so when the sun finally came out, it was time to toured the Palm Springs Air Museum.

Cost: $17.50 adults – $ 15.50 for age 65+

What I am about to tell you is going to be a real shocker to a lot of you!

Last night we sat down for a long talk, and after much discussion Myron made the decision we needed to be on the road by 8:30 tomorrow morning!

Well, of course Becky laughed, as everyone knows, we are not the fastest moving couple, we are lucky if we can leave by 10 am and that is pushing it!

Well, this morning we were on the road by 8:19am…… No really, I am not kidding, we really were on the the road that early!!!

Oh stop laughing…. I even took a screen shot of our departure time, just so we had actual proof we did it!

But all joking aside, even with today being a short driving day to Las Vegas

we had quite the climb gets out of Laughlin as starting elevation is 520ft.

Highest point of our climb was 2,929 ft.

That’s a 2,409 ft climb…. Old Red did great as usual pulling our condo on wheels.

It’s getting hotter!

We left Bluewater Casino in Parker, AZ on Wednesday April 3rd, and arrived at the Tropicana Casino here in Laughlin, NV a few hours later.

We prefer this particular casino over the other free ones on the strip as they have water, sewer dump station, security, and access to their pool and hot tub, for $7.00/night or $35.00 for the week!

The weather has been great since we arrived, sunny 28 C/ 82 F with little to no wind.

Yesterday we thought it would be a good idea to do some early morning shopping before the temp started rising. This way we can leave Bella and Rider in the rv and not have to worry about one of us staying with them in the truck.

This year we seem to have a long list of please bring me back………

Blue jello ✅

Enchiladas Sauce ✅

Diaper Rash Cream ✅

Now with all these wonderful grandchilden we have, we just cant stop ourselves, it seems we are always scouting for something cute or cool for them!

Ok, ok……. we can’t forget a few items are also for us! 🤪

Wine ✅

GF Vodka ✅

We sure do get some odd looks from fellow shoppers when our cart is plum full of alcohol……You can always tell the Americans from the Canadians. The Canadians just look at us with a huge smile and a nod as they push their cart to the till, full of alcohol!!!

Booze is so cheap here compared to back home. My wine is anywhere from $1.99 – $3.00 /litre USA 🇺🇸 / $ 2.66-$4.01/litre Canadian 🇨🇦

Back on the road for us tomorrow. It will be another short drive as we only have to travel 148 km/ 92 miles to Viva Las Vegas!
