Nevada 11-6

We had a restful night. Highway 6 isn’t very busy so it was nice and quiet. This OLD guy that I live with needs sleep as he goes into his last year before he hits the top of the hill…tee hee. Sadly I don’t have any of his baby pictures with us, so I guess I’ll have to make up for it next year! Happy 49th Larry!

We left Tonopah around 9:30, actually we left the RV park then, we fueled up…$100 worth (fuel is not as high in the eastern US) and then hit the road. We took 95 to Fallon. Yesterday I must have sniffed too much sand or something…waxing poetic about the beauty of the Nevada desert…NOT…it is so BORING, puts me to sleep. You have to slow down when you go through one of its teeny towns and that is about it. Miles and miles of hills and flats covered in brush and rocks and sand. The little towns might have some cottonwoods, which are a stunning yellow right now, but that is it. In other states you see old barns, in Nevada you see old abandoned mines and around homes tons of old rusted cars, machinery, and appliances all in varying states of decay.

We landed in Fallon around 1:30. We are staying at the Churchill County Fairgrounds, only 3 rigs in here. Not sure what the price is, we just have electric, the water is shut off and we don’t have sewer. We traveled 170 miles. We have some business to take care of tomorrow and then we head to Plumas County in California on Wednesday. We are on our way up to Michelle’s in Oregon.


The two pictures of water are of Walker Lake along highway 95. It is a big lake with a couple of campgrounds along side of it.
