Sunday 11th November
We now have to zoom down to Phoenix, some 500 miles away, to store the rig. Our first stage is to return to Pahrump, to Saddle West Casino, where we can empty and clean tanks. We arrived by lunch time, having driven via Shoshone, so that we could see the southern part of Death Valley. As we were leaving the trailer hitched we planned to eat first, then shop then go to the RV park. Where to eat? Casino Buffet of course, the best one in Pahrump being the Golden Nugget. So we pulled in by about 1.00 only to find the carpark full, still shouldn’t be a problem. We get inside and find a big line for the buffet. Why? On checking out we find that there is a meal special. $5.00 buffet and Veterans eat for free. Then we twigged, today, being the 11th November is Veterans Day and for whatever cynically dubious financial reason Casinos provide free buffet for Veterans and cheap buffet for others. So although the line was long we were happy to wait as there were many veterans in line to talk to. One even gave us a T-shirt that had been given to him by the casino. So it was more of a party than a queue for lunch. After lunch we shopped and camped.
