What happens in Las Vegas….

OMG!  We escaped the brutal north.  Maija Eerkes texted me that they left for the ski hill with the temp on their dash at 1 degree F.  Shees!!  OK if you are coming out of a warm condo, but brutal for camping.

Anyway, we sojurned south about 250 miles per day until we hit a temp on our car of 65 degrees outdoors.

Really is warmer in LV

Now that we can handle! Softies that we are, even with heat in the trailer, waking up to ice on the inside of your windows is not my idea of a happening winter vacation!

The route we took today from Ely, NV to Las Vegas was gorgeous.  small, well-maintained state highways (93 and 318)  brought us through every type of teerrain.  We began with short scrub, and traveled trough valleys of several types of cactus, all indigenous to their locale.

Great drive through the canyons

Well, here we are in Vegas–and you know what they say about Vegas?…….  We visited Lake Mead today–flippin gorgeous blue water.  We’ll probably stay here in this RV park one more night (sure is nice not to have to pick up and move), but get down to the  awesome blue waters tomorrow to camp for a few days.
