We were on the road a little past 9 am heading south on
#95. After a while, we pulled over to
make our decision on which direction to go.
In the end, I decided to take the bull by the horns and just head right
through Las Vegas. It wasn’t too bad but
it still took about 40 minutes driving at 55-60 mph. There was one short 45 mph zone but no stops
and no slowdowns even. We continued on
#95 all the rest of the day. Tonight we
are at the BLM free camping on Plomosa Rd just north of Quartzsite, AZ. It is so quiet here. There is just an occasional car that goes by
and that is it.
The temperature got up into the mid 20’sC (low 80’sF) but it
sure didn’t feel too warm. There was a
bit of a breeze which helped. We were
talking to our campground neighbour this morning and he took the route we were
planning to take and he really confirmed we made the right decision to change
to the route we took. Klamath Falls was
down in the low 20’sF the days we would have been there and then it snowed all
the way to Reno where he woke up to two inches on the ground. It didn’t stick on the road much when it was
snowing otherwise, he said.
We will stay over here for a day or two to rest up before
arriving in Caliente. We do have Verizon
wireless here which is a bonus.
A couple of views of our new home. Can't see any neighbours unless you walk out a bit. Closest must be a quarter of a mile away.
Wow - Arizona already? Have you EVER travelled this quickly before? You've seen some nice country, though.
ReplyDeleteThe big reason is the fact we crossed the border so much later and the weather conspired against hanging out along the way. Most of the crew doesn't do snow, remember?
ReplyDeleteVery true, very true! I can't imagine it'd be any fun driving the Terra even within sight of snowy roads.
