My Life and Travels
Great evening for setting out and watching stars last night, it was at least 10:30 when I went on.
Today has been mostly around camp reading and playing IPad games. Hank and I went for a walk onto town this morning.
Site B006
Thunder shower in the afternoon but still 95+.
Vacation —
Last night we had lightening and heavy rain from 2:00 – 3:00 a.m. We don’t get much lightening at home so it was neat to see the sky light up.
Hank and I went for a short walk this morning.
This was my afternoon view from our campsite.
Goal is to do nothing of any value for the next two weeks.
We have stopped for the night 6:30 p.m. and 413 miles. Here’s the Google location:

It is raining, not a thunder shower this is a real wetting the earth rain. We had rain off and on starting at Ely and had to slow down to 50 mph a couple of times. If it stops raining I will take a campsite picture.

Tomorrow starts the hard part of vacation, we will get to Zion Natl Park and the big decision of the day well be how many strawberry daiquiris to have and how many will be two shots of rum vs. one. I’ll have to work my way through it. Morning walks with Hank and afternoons in the shade.
Update Monday morning, here are a couple of campsite pictures from this morning, sunny.
12:30 morning update did not update, here are the pictures:
Today was the first day of a doing nothing vacation. Hank and I went for a walk this morning.
Fixed the passenger side rear clearance light and cleaned out the bottom of the BBQ. Tomorrow we head south on Nevada hwy 93 and will spend the night out in the middle of no where, it should be dark to see stars. I don’t think we’ll have phone or internet.

High point.
Distance is plus a mile, the road is rocky and I was getting concern about Hank’s feet.
This sign is at the start of the road going up hill, and it is up.
