Whole Lotta Nothin'

This is what we saw pretty much all day. We (Jim) drove 270 miles from Pahrump, NV to Quartzsite, AZ mostly on US 95. In Nevada it's a very nice 4 lane highway but at the CA line it becomes a 2 lane pit. We had brief stints on Interstate 40 and 10, otherwise it was no passing zone most of the way. We lucked out and had very few cars or trucks pressuring us to go faster. There must have been 10 times as much traffic headed north.

Nervous Nelly me had to be headed out by 9 which turned out to be a good thing because the time changed as we crossed the AZ line about 20 miles from Quartzsite so we pulled in about 3:30. We just can't bring ourselves to boondock so we parked at Holiday Palms in a pull-through 55 feet long. Funny but most of the pull-throughs are 35-40 feet long. That's no good for us as we are about 55 total.

We had stocked up on food yesterday so I had the fixin's for Reuben sandwiches...an easy supper as we kicked back to watch the Olympics.

Tomorrow...Tucson.
