Monday morning, as I rolled out of Rancho Lou, I figured I’d pick up my new driver license in Douglas, Arizona, then slowly head west, keeping to warmer weather. But Monday evening I learned there was going to be an open house mid-day Wednesday at the Homes on Wheels Alliance vehicle buildout project in Pahrump, Nevada. That meant several people I’ve wanted to see again would be in one place, plus I could check out how the projects are going.
Hmmmm, from the southeast corner of Arizona to the southern end of Nevada in a day and a half? About 600 miles? Ten hours? Plus gas, food and pee stops? It could be done. And it wouldn’t be as insane as the Flagstaff-Phoenix-Yuma-Kingman-Flagstaff one day trip I made a few years ago. But I’m supposed to be recovering from cancer treatment. Would I have the stamina? Only one way to know. So adios old plan, hello new one.
Today’s little drive
It’s Tuesday evening and I’m camped at Lake Mead. Tomorrow will be a leisurely cruise to Pahrump. At least that’s the plan.
My 2 hour campsite move today turned into 11 hours. Plans are just bad jokes in my life.
ReplyDeleteSame here Barney.
DeleteHow was Douglas?
ReplyDeleteWeather was good, not windy, not cold at night. The host was pleasant.
DeleteIf you like, remind me to give you our address there and you can stay anytime you want.
ReplyDeleteLol, your bed is just a few steps from the driver seat. Rest when you need it.
