Thursday
October 31 Biking and Tookie
My human let
me out without a leash. He sat right
there so I couldn’t go far but it was fun.
Today it was
MY morning walk. We have stayed here
before and I enjoy walking the bike trail overlooking the lake. One could go for miles and miles. But since we are going for a bike ride, no
need to go to long.
From the
campground, the bike trail follows the lake for a couple of miles. The lake is very low. They had to move the marina several years ago
so that it could stay at the water edge.
The launch ramp looks like it is a million miles long!
At the
visitor center, we veer left onto a dirt path.
It takes us through old railroad tunnels, ultimately taking us to the
parking lot for Hoover Dam. We lock the
bikes, then venture to the dam. Spouse
wanted to do the tour, but we both had pocket knives… alas, we were persona non grata! I am not sure why airport type security is
needed, but that’s the way it is these days.
It is a
beautiful day, temperature in the low 70’s I’d say, and sunny. On the way back, Spouse stopped at an
outhouse. Talk about timing… no sooner
does he close the door, the septic guy shows up to pump it out… he had to wait a bit! Spouse came out to an audience!
Once we got
back, we cleaned up and headed to Tookie’s house. Tookie (her real name is Deloris) and I
worked together starting in the late 1970’s.
We hated each other at first, but somehow we morphed into forever
friends. She is almost 90 now but still
has her marbles! She has been living in
Henderson for about 20 years now, so we try to visit when we come this way.
