We’re leaving Las Vegas Bay campground just after most of our neighbors have left, oddly. You know those neighbors. The single lady living/traveling in her minivan with her little reactive dog; the mom and disabled daughter in their camper with their much bigger reactive dog (we all would walk at strategic times of the day).

Mojave Brewing and Mojave Hiking
To counter the downer of my last post about Las Vegas, here are some damned-near glorious experiences we’ve had here.
