BOULDER CITY ELKS LODGE…NICE PLACE TO PARK

Friday, April 15 – With hugs and goodbyes to our friends, Louise & Duane, we pulled-out of Escapee's North Ranch bright and early and headed to Boulder City, NV.

We drove through Arizona State Joshua Tree Park.

We had a great and uneventful trip arriving at the Elks Club campground around noon. They have fifteen full hook-up campsites to the rear of the Lodge. The Lodge is on a busy street, making getting in difficult, but with the campground around back you are very secluded and it's nice and quiet. We have learned a back way in and out of the campground, so we avoid the traffic on the road out front.

We came across the new Hoover Dam Bridge on our way here. We'll head back there in a few days for pictures and to see it from the old road across the bridge.  The new bridge is so wide with high guard rail walls that you hardly realize you are on a bridge. That “dam” bridge is amazing (sorry, I couldn't resist).

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y'all back real soon. Have a great day!
