Giant Advertising Postcards Riverside RV Park and Manor Auctions

Don Laughlin's Riverside Resort and Casino and RV Park Laughlin Nevada

2 years ago we took our trailer to this resort RV park in Feb over President Days weekend and yes it looked like this.  We were among the 2000 snowbirds visiting the Laughlin, Nevada area and what a crowd.  We managed to get a spot even without reservations.   Now it seems to be an annual event, went last year but not sure yet if we will go this year.  They do send us this POSTCARD every year with a special weekly rate.

If you start bidding online with different auction houses or through http://liveauctioneers.com you can bid on many auction sites.  This POSTCARD came from Manor Auctions for a February 25 auction.  Yes I love getting any kind of postcards via the post office.

Souvenir Blank letter Cunard R.M.L Queen Mary

 Now when you check into a motel room, or maybe a suite on a cruise ship will you find free stationery or postcards?  Maybe not....instead there might be a code for WiFi so you can email them.  From back in the day you could find these nice blank letter grams with the ship picture (Queen Mary) and send if off in the mail (if you are in port)

Joey Loves to RV in Orange Grove Park, Bakersfield California

Sorry I don't have any more pictures of Joey our newest dog of 3 weeks.  We wanted to see how she would do traveling with us. We left on Monday night just an hours drive to Chukchansi Indian Casino in Coarsegold California.  They let you park your RV in their large parking lot. She took to walking right away.  When we went into the casino we put her inside her cage in the trailer.  She is a chewer we found out.  But she has lots of room.  The next morning off to Orange Grove RV Park on Highway 58 on the outskirts of Bakersfield.  By the way she sleeps all night in her doggy bed and fits in our 19 foot trailer.

Orange Grove RV park is one of the busiest and largest parks in California.  It is a stopping point for the snowbirds going to or returning from Arizona and other warm destinations.  We picked a spot near the office at the end of the row and we watched 28 motorhomes, fifth wheels and trailers check in.  And with them the dogs. Joey went right away to the dog run area, which is fenced in.  Of course its Poop and Scoop. She gets along fine when people walk by but gets excited if they are walking a dog.  My shoulders and legs are sore from keeping her calm from her excited state.  She also loves Truck Stops, roadside rests and vacant lots.  She also rides well in the back of the pickup truck.  We are now home and she is wondering where our next trip will take her.  Scroll down about 4 entries to see her picture.  She is a Dachshund mix we think.
