IT'S FINAL.... THE START OF OUR FINAL U.S.A. ADVENTURE

LAST TIME OUT OF STORAGE

Here we go again back to the USA, flew into Las Vegas on Wednesday and spent a night in a motel before picking up our rig on Thursday. I've already shed tears, firstly when watching the Bellagio fountains for the last time and then saying goodbye to Larry and Peggy who have stored our rig many times and been such a help. 

What a wonderful truck we have, the Dodge started first time after standing for 9 months in the hot desert atmosphere. The trailer has shed some of its beading, its cracked with the heat but easy to replace, no livestock inside - phew!! It was 41oC/106oF when we arrived.
We camped a night at Lake Mead RV Village, the plan had been to stop at the usual place next door which is a National Parks site but they don't have electric so we opted for the luxury of air con and wifi and TV! Today we also had the added extra of 34mph HOT winds!

CHILLAXING AT LAKE MEAD

We are not hanging around here, its unbearable, it was not in the plan to be here in August but has been good to experience it. Having said that, we are moving west towards the coast through Death Valley! Are we crazy?  Spent the evening at Nevada Treasure RV Resort at Pahrump - we seem to be the only ones here, the snowbirds might come here for the winter but no one comes for the summer - except us of course! 
Enjoyed a refreshing swim  in the pool at the site - then back for a Bud!
Heading for Lake Isabella in California tomorrow through the Valley of Death!
