Gray Beard,

I know what you mean about "visitors" when you live in Las Vegas...one of my business partners lived there years ago; and the "visitor" problem got so bad he actually installed an outside entrance to his mother-in-law apartment and gave his visitors the code to the locks.

My son now lives in Eldorado Heights (north north north Las Vegas by the Alliante Hotel and Casino) and he always seems to have somebody staying with him. He's close to the north las Vegas flying field actually, just about as far north from you in Henderson as one can get and still be in the Vegas valley.

When we came to the QSAA every year, we stayed at the Railroad Pass Casino and Hotel...glad they refurbished it over the years....it's OK now that they did. The Eldorado valley flyers have some of their meetings there don't they?

We, too, have some dry lake beds, but they are just "baby puddles" compared to yours. What a great place to fly!
