Sep 17, 2020 - Fernley, NV

It was a long drive 330 mile drive from Chiloquin, OR to Fernley, NV. Though the smoke in the western states from all the fires is bad, dense and bothersome, we are glad to be on the move. We’re headed to the home of Dave’s brother, Frank and his wife Sharon. They have an RV space next to their home that we haven’t tried yet, but we evaluated the space last May and found it to be large enough for us. So anytime one can save money on space rent AND be close to loved ones, it’s a win, win proposition... We’ll be here just for 6 days this...

Aug 6, 2020 - Las Vegas NV

We have been in Las Vegas now for a couple of days. Basically we wanted to see how they were operating with all the virus issues. There are 51000 cases in Nevada and 45000 are in Clark County (Vegas). We are being very careful. Basically Vegas is kind of a ghost town. The casinos are empty. They seem to be using this opportunity to work on infrastructure, the Strip is torn up, and practically everything is closed. A lot of the casinos have plastic barriers to protect the dealers and players. Three people maximum at a blackjack table and 6...

Aug 2, 2020 - Truck Camper Discrimination & The "10-Year" Rule

An Open Letter to RV Campground Owners RE: Truck Campers So, we were once again refused a monthly stay at an "average" RV park, and once again, we were given another "less than satisfactory" reason. In fact... The reason given was quite insulting: "We don't let people remove their campers from thier trucks, because it's not how we want our park to look." These types of occurrences are rare, but hurtful none the less, as is any form of discrimination without cause. We'll add this one to the list of ridiculous reasons some parks give to turn...

Jun 24, 2020 - Winnemucca, Nevada

Headed out US 95 to Winnemucca, NV where we stayed at New Frontier RV Park for one night. Wind blew and thunder and lightning storm in the evening. Ran into difficulty with our hydraulics as we were are a sloped sight. After sometime, Dale finally got our leveling system to work. He had called a mobile repair service as he didn't think he could resolve the issue. However, he did and called the repair man back, but he said he would stop by just in case there was any further trouble. Nice service!

Jun 6, 2020 - Finding My Peace: A Hawaiian Airbnb Experience

I recently decided that it was time for a new experience. Time to travel somewhere I had never been before. I have read that spending my well-earned money on travel is a much better way to create long-lasting happiness, and it was time for a change in my life.

They promised me that it would be a good way to save some money while getting access to a more personalized and homey atmosphere in a new setting. It took me a while to decide where I wanted to start...

Jun 4, 2020 - Why You Should Go To Vegas

So maybe you’re not so hot on gambling. And in your mind, that automatically means you will never be interested in a trip to Las Vegas. Not so fast! There are plenty of reasons why Las Vegas is a great city that everyone should visit – even people who have never sat down to gamble in their lives (or shown any interest in gambling). You Can Rest by the Pool Las Vegas has around 300 days of sun a year, so much sun that Las Vegas solar panels top an amazing number of houses (and casinos), which makes the city rank in the top 10 in the country...

May 26, 2020 - Summer Travel Season - Leg #1

/// May 26, 2020 Summer Travel Season 2020 With our travel preparation about completed we decided to depart Yuma a couple days earlier than originally planned. The weather this past several days has been much warmer than expected. The triple digit temperatures were wearing us out. We got off to a good start Tuesday morning for Leg #1 and the 280 mile trip north to Boulder City, NV. Our route would take us north on Hwy 95. Traffic was light, the road conditions were mostly very good and we made good time. We made just two stops along the...

May 16, 2020 - Heading North

So, as predicted, it took about a day and a half to transfer all our stuff and food to the motorhome, then there was the cleanup and straighten-up of the house. We departed Desert Gold an hour later than we’d hoped for, but we’re on the road nonetheless!! A beautiful day to drive, sunshine, cool temperatures and very little wind! We made it to our first night destination at the Death Valley Inn and RV Park in Beatty Nevada. We were awakened at 4:03 a.m. by the shaking of our motorhome due to a 6.5 Richter earthquake. As it turned out, about...

Apr 21, 2020 - Heading into Nevada

We got up at 0630 and were underway again a bit after 0800. We are Heading for Nevada today. We are trying to get through Las Vegas early and hopefully have pretty light traffic there. Las Vegas had rain and thunderstorms yesterday and they are saying there is more of it today. Plus there is wind in the forecast and the earlier we get on the road the better. So we made our fist stop at Searchlight, Nevada. Not a very exciting place, but a good place to take Miss Zoey for a potty walk. She didn't seemed very impressed with Searchlight either...

Mar 19, 2020 - Laughlin Nevada - March 19 - 20

Staying at the Avi Casino for 2 nights while we wait for cooler temperatures north of us to warm up prior to moving again on Saturday. The Governor of Nevada has ordered the shutdown of all casinos in Nevada. I kind of expected this, and it is something to see an empty parking here at the Avi. There was one small Indian casino back in Fort Mohave still open when we came past it 1/2 hr ago. Seems they don't have to follow the same rules? Good drive today ,no issues today,we pulled into a cloud filled sky but no rain as of 6 pm
