Back in Vegas- More Shows & GeoCaching on the way Home

Again We're staying at Sam's Town RV Park Boulder for 6 more nights. We really like it here & the rates are very fair @ $28 per night w/Good Sam Club discount.

There's an 18 theater complex in Sam's town & we really took advantage of that this time. Every Tuesday they have a senior special for $3 (add an additional $3 if it's 3D)

Each day we'd see a movie & each night a stage performance on the strip. We don't gamble at all....just does not interest us. Actually, when we're at home we rarely go to a movie theater because of our Netflix program. We do need a real theater for 3D films though & so this time we saw Avatar in 3D. It was wonderful & would like to see it again only in IMAX 3D next time. We'll wait awhile for that.

The films we saw were:
Avatar
Sherlock Holmes
Did You ear About the Morgans
Nine &
It's Complicated
We enjoyed all of them. The least favorite if I had to choose one would be "Morgans" BUT just about anything with Hugh Grant is a feast for ANY eyes!

Stage Shows:
Viva Elvis (a Cirque du Soleil)
Bette Midler
Love (another Cirque w/Beatles music)
Menopause the Musical and
KA for the 2nd time (another Cirque)

We didn't do any Vegas geocaching but on the way home we boondocked in Barstow & found four between Vegas and Barstow.
The most fun ones were at an Archeological Site A two mile dirt road took us here. We were towing the trailer too & were hoping all along that we would be able to turn around once we got there.
There was a ranger At this Archeological Dig who just happened to be there when we arrived at the little information building. It's a really small museum of sorts. The whole shack was only about 20' x 14'. The ranger works a few hours a few days a week & we were lucky to be there when he was. We hiked the "dig" loop & then got to the geo cache near the information building. There was a 2nd geocache near the exit gate too. We were able to find & record them both. The sun was setting as we left & got to our regular Barstow, Ca overnight boondock spot. It was a good day.
Here's a link to the Calico Early Man BLM Site
