We stayed in a park called Main Street Station RV park. It is operated by the Main Street Station Hotel and Casino right down town near Fremont Street.
We stayed there a few days before moving out to Sam's Town RV park on the Boulder Hwy. That was a nice rv park and it was across the road from a Wal-Mart store. It was also the easiest way out of Las Vegas for us heading north to Ely, Nevada.
We stayed here until Sunday morning, March 21st when we decided it was time for us to really head home. The traffic was very light and the day sunny and just the right temperature for driving. All of a sudden, Mikey pulls over to the side of the road. I asked him why he was pulling over. I soon found out...
Yep, that's me behind the wheel, white knuckling it for about half an hour while I tried to keep the rig on the road. I succeeded but was most anxious for Mikey to take over, especially when the first curve came into view. The road had no curbs to speak of; sort of like the roads in Mexico. Oh my goodness, the roads in Mexico are no different than these roads after all! Near Ely we came across the first snow near the highway and it was also very cold. In the morning we looked out our windows to see what was previously a large mud puddle was a skating pond. I jest, but it was frozen.
From Ely we drove to Jackpot, Nevada on Monday, March 22nd. We did finally meet snow coming down in a squall just outside of Wells, NV. I was all for staying there for the night but Mikey insisted on keeping going to Jackpot.
We stayed at Cactus Pete's on the highway. There is a nice RV park there, but now it was very windy and cold. There are two areas to park. We started out in this area near the front of the hotel, but we found the showers were behind the hotel in the other lot. The showers were clean and the room was nice and warm. The robins are eating the berries off the tree beside our rig.
Today was a special day for two reasons. It was Mikey's sister's 60th birthday and the 10th anniversary of his mom's passing. Where does the time go? Happy birthday Patty and Mom, we miss you.
Last night we stopped on the Snake River near Huntington, Oregon. The rv park was called "Oasis RV". It was located off the freeway so we had a good night's sleep. Hubby met some people from Princeton and Grand Forks who were on their way home from wintering further south. Dog walking is very helpful in starting conversations with strangers with dogs.
I'm finally caught up on my trip. Tonight, Wednesday, March 24th, we are in Pasco, Washington staying at the KOA; also known as the Sandy Point RV in the Big RV Book. It was cool this morning but it turned out to be nice and warm. Tomorrow we will be in Oroville, Washington. We will stay overnight and cross the border at Osoyoos, BC on Friday. We should be home in time for POETS, acronym for P...s on everything, tomorrow's Saturday.
ttfn,
Holoidays on holiday
