No more Vegas

Should I even bother posting on this thing anymore? There's been a change of plans and I'm not going out into the Mojave desert again. Well, one last time. I'm going tomorrow for just a few days, then for the rest of the summer it's paperwork time! Not adventure at all.  No more camping, no more looking at abandoned mines, from now on it's 10 hours a day in the office making maps with GIS. The worse part is I'm running out of money and I can't afford the Extended Stay all month.  When it was every other week I was fine, but now that I'll be living permanently in Reno, it's impossible! So I cancelled my reservations at the Extended Stay and officially am homeless.  When I get back to Reno next week, I have no idea where I will go.  My boss, Chris, said there was an available room with GBI housing and I told him I want a room there even though there's no internet and no cable and no laundry! So now I'm going to be homeless, broke, lonely, bored, and dirty. Woohoo.... my summer rocks... best summer everrrr.

A LIGER!


On a better note though, this past week was really fun! The zoo, planetarium, movie theater, shopping centers, casinos, resorts, arcades, restaurants... good times, noodle salad.  I got to pretend that I wasn't so alone and far away out here.  I was so happy!!! I had so much fun and there were a couple of reeaaaaallllyyyy good laughs this past week, it's been a long time since I've laughed that hard haha.  My favorite thing was probably walking around the deserted resort! Kevin and I walked around this resort that didn't really open for another week, but all the stores and stuff were open.

The Northstar at Tahoe resort, now imagine no people. So cool! Except that also meant that horseback riding wasn't going on, and neither were any of the other outdoors activities. It was still fun though! Oh! And I won some money playing Blackjack at the Grand Sierra resort and casino.  That was a pretty cool place too, lots of stuff to do besides gambling. 

So my last week with money and a home was fun. Now it's off to the wilderness one last time, and then I'm coming back to nothing. No friends. No family. And to top it all off, for some reason the font on this half of the post is bigger than the other font size! WTF? How did that even happen.... sigh... Oh yeah, in case you wanted to know how archaeology was a week ago, it was the same as three weeks ago, so just read the last post over again but this time read it over imagining the temperature a bit higher and the mines a little further up a cliff. Why can't we all just lounge round on a beach... in hammocks... with a nice cold drink, a good book, good music... and indoor plumbing. Is that too much to ask for? I don't think so...
