We had a lot of things to do today, get the rig ready to travel, laundry, go to town and pick up our mail as well as fill the lp tank with gas, etc. We finally got things done and away from Pahrump a little after noon. You have to go back to LasVegas to get through the mountains and then you can go south down US95. This is a good 4 lane highway and there is no towns along the way, just desert with mountains in the distance. There was one town, Searchlight, which had a couple of Casinos and a few filling stations, but that was about all. The town of Cal-Nav-Ari was less than that, just a wide spot in the road.

You know it has been cold at nights and we could see the snow on Mt. Charleston, but as we went up the mountain to get to LasVegas, we say a lot of snow along the highway and it was still pretty cold.

We are currently at the Calizona RV Park in Needles, CA. we are down considerably in altitude and at 10pm it is still near 50 degrees outside. Much warmer than the last week or so.

Not a lot going on the last couple of days, just getting things ready to travel. We were not sure our mail would make it today, so we really could not make any definite plans one way or the other.

We spent the evening sorting mail, paying bills, and deciding where we would go tomorrow. It will not be an early start as we will be late to bed tonight.

As we traveled down US95 we could see lots of high voltage power lines crossing the area from Hoover dam that was just a few miles to the east. That power plant furnishes power to cities all over the southwest grid. We even saw a huge solar system that was right along and under the power lines. Every little bit of power helps.
