Joan on the Road...of Life

Last night we were treated to a Carson City sunset. The sky had been clear all day but as eastern mountain sides often do, it clouded up, rained at the higher altitudes and gave us a beautiful sunset. Here's just one of the many views from our window of the show that lasted half an hour.

We had our black cows while watching the sunset. Then the mosquitos came out (haven't seen them for a long time) so we went inside and hit the hay early so we could get going early.

I didn't mention that Silver City RV Park is very nice for a few days stay. It has a gas station, propane, great laundry, shaded pool, 30x60 sites, groceries, snacks and a beauty shop. Tahoe is 20 miles away and there are other historical sites. You could easily fill 3-4 days with little side trips.

We drove 300 miles today from Carson City to Elko, NV and saw a couple of small towns and very few houses...just miles of hills, mountains, valleys and rivers. However, near the towns of Carson City, Winnemuca, and Elko the building is extensive. Houses, business parks, shopping malls. Guess the economy is reallly bad :)

Here's Jim cleaning off the window for the second time today....bug city. We have our windows treated with Rain-x so that we can just use a wet microfiber cloth to wipe off the bugs and a dry cloth to finish the job. This stuff really works.

The park we're in, Double Dice RV, is ok..but not the greatest park in Nevada as they claim to be. The sites are only 18x50...close quarters. Lots of parks are really not set up for newer RVs with large slides. But it's just overnight and we're outta here!....and on to our boondocking adventure.
