This morning we said our good-byes and thank-you and hit the road around 9:30. It was sunny and cool. We headed west towards Las Vegas and took the beltway around the city and strip. It made it nice not having to go through the city and it was interesting seeing all the new developments and stores. This whole north end looks very new and shiny. We hit 95 north and cruised right along. It was a pretty day overall, a little breezy and we hit rain for a few miles, but most of the storm had already headed east.
We decided to spend the night in Tonopah at the park we had stayed at the last time. If you ever come through Tonopah and are starving to death, DO NOT stop at the McDonald’s. Teenagers seem to be running it, were too busy talking to help the customers and they were not getting on cooking the food. It was 5 minutes before the kid even got the burgers out of the freezer and then after running his fingers through his hair proceeded to take the burgers and shuffle them like cards. Another teenager after dropping his headset on the floor and putting it back on his head got the buns and juggled them. After seeing all this Larry got our money back and asked the kid for the store number, which he wouldn’t give Larry, but Larry found it on the receipt and is filing a complaint. Didn’t waste our time talking to the Manager, apparently who ever claimed that title doesn’t know what they were doing. We lost our yen for a Big Mac and decided not getting food poisoning was preferable!
We got in our site at 3:15 after traveling 285 miles. It is cool and windy, but clear. We are at 6,256 feet here so it will be cold tonight. There was snow on the mountains around Las Vegas and on various mountains all along the highway north.
