         Having finally escaped after five years of grinding away at
so-called 'higher education',and not needing to jump right into a job to
pay bills thanks to a small inheritance from my grandfather,I bought a
used,but,well taken-care of Motor-home.At 32 feet long it was not a luxurey
model,but very comfortable, and easiley able to tow my 'Beetle' behind it.I
felt it was time to see some of the places I had always heard of,and
perhaps,meet someone to share the experiance with.Maybe all the stories I
had read,and heard,about the open road weren't true,but,I was going to find
out for myself.

         I kept my two bedroom apartment in West Hollywood to come home
to,and headed up I-15 for Las Vegas.Of course,the first thing I did was
miss an interchange,and found myself going east on I-40,but, a quick glance
at a road-map told me that,sure enough,all roads DID lead to 'Vegas,so I
went on almost to Needles,Ca.,and turned off on a State road that would get
me there.  By this time it was late afternoon,and I was finding out it was
much more tireing to drive an RV than a VW,so,when just after crossing into
Nevada,I saw a Casino with an RV park alongside,I decided to pull in,and
relax for the night.

         After registering,and being assignd a spot,I parked,and set-up for
the night.Leaving the AC.on to cool the rig down,I wandered over to the
main Hotel/Casino to look over the action.Being near the Nevada/California
line it was a medium size,with a gameing area that was only about half
full,(or half empty).It is interesting how when people are gambleing,they
are so concentrated on their own little space they not aware of anyone,or
anything,else.

        I wandered on to the pool area,and was pleasently suprised to find
a large pool full of young people splashing,and thrashing about.

         Sorting out all the bodies moving around was fairly easy after I
realized they were all teen age boys,wearing everything from baggy shorts
to Speedos.Picking out a lounge chair that gave me an all around view of a
variety of young,mostly hairless,nearly naked young kids I sat back to
enjoy the sight for a few minutes.Although I was ony a few years older than
most of the guys in the pool.I was fully dressed, (shirt, shorts, shoes,
socks), and knew I would probably draw attention to myself if I hung around
too long,but,the sight was so great,I just had to stay for ten minutes,or
so.
