Grumpy Day
I'm usually a pretty positive person but yesterday I got out of bed on the wrong side and I was grumpy. There was a reason. As soon as Jim's feet hit the floor he said "let's leave today." What? I was ready to snuggle up, sleep in, read, sit outside and be lazy again. He was not real comfy with us being the only campers at MacKay with no host and rowdy teens coming in a night to party. OK...strike one!
We packed it in, headed down US93, thought about stopping at Craters of the Moon but said ..next time. I started driving after that and it was a rock and roll trip. The road looked pretty good but just rolled from side to side. After 75 miles of that I felt like was going to puke...strike two.
We stopped for lunch in Twin Falls, ID on the bridge that looks over the Snake River. Someday we'll stay in this area for a few days to explore the river more. But we needed to move on and as we headed south and west to Wells, NV the wind picked up. We were rockin, rollin and movin across the highway...strike three.
I'm afraid I pissed and moaned all day! We arrived at Mountain Shadows RV Park and got a fairly decent site but the trains were right next to the park. Is there a strike four? The park host said the trains ran all night but he was joking, thank heaven. I went to bed at 10 and left Jim to read and enjoy the peace and quiet :)
Here's our site at Wells, NV. OK for an overnight. Jim is showing off the newly cleaned and bug free windows.
Today was just a long drive on Interstate 80 and then 30 miles on US 95 through alkali flats to Fallon, NV. I said nice things and smiled all day. Even did a long stint of driving. I think we'll stay here two nights as tomorrow is Mother's Day and I feel the need to be pampered! And guess what? The market here at Fallon RV Park has Krispy Kremes delivered fresh daily! Ok...I know it's not health food but we haven't had any for a year.
Here's our site at Fallon RV. It's a nice base for visiting the area. The sites are long and wide. The trees and grass are lovely. Only downside is Highway 50 noise but that will quiet down later.
The spring weather has been so beautiful. Highs in the mid 80's and sleeping temps of 45. Tomorrow will be a wonderful day. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all my fellow Moms!
