Nevada

Yesterday we said good-bye to snow, freezing temps, and skiing. Let's see; extra blankets, gloves, hats, heavy coats, tire chains, and some good folks! We really are fair weather friends.

Today we woke up in Pahrump, NV at an Escapees park, Pair a Dice. This seemed like a good day for a little housework, shopping, and general maintenance, maybe even a car wash.

For the many who are unfamiliar, Pahrump is near the California border on that diagonal part of Nevada, northwest of Las Vegas. I read yesterday that it is the fastest growing unincorporated town in the nation. Much of the growth comes in the winter with snowbirds. RV parks are abundant!

We have come to see Death Valley, about 75 miles west of here. We will have to miss the temps of 100+, but having done that before, it is OK. We haven't picked the day yet, for right now we are happy to have some down time and enjoying the warmer weather.
