I was stationed at Nellis from 74 to 77, and have been back to vist the
bright lights exactly three times. Once with another couple for a weekend,
once with my wife and two very small kids -- we stayed for a week and hit
the water slide, dam, and the Medevil Knights dinner show -- and the last
time was on the one-year anniversary of 9/11 -- that was a very moving
experience. We like the lights and attractions, but not the gambling so
much.
I've been up to St. George and Cedar Grove (Cedar City?) and around the area
by Zion. I could live there. Me and an Air Force buddy went camping at Lake
Navajo the Friday after the campground with the cabins closed, the guy would
not rent us cabin so we had to sleep in the car. I tried sleeping on the
ground with two sleeping bags, but the falling snow made that a not-so-fun
experience. Curling up in the back seat was not much better, but there was
less wind.
