Heading to the Slabs in Niland Cal

12/22/2006 (click on photos for larger size)

Well we finally got started at 11:30 this morning, took longer to get going than we thought it would, Had to load the rest of the stuff up, and then had to turn all the elec off in the rooms. Shut the water off, put pink stuff in all the traps and toilets. Nevada had to put the chains across the driveways, about the time he was doing that a guy came and took a brochure out of our For Sale , He took it and left and then pretty soon he came back and asked whether we were the owners and i said yes, he asked a few questions and then said he had called about the property next door meaning the restaurant wanting to know if we also owned it. I said no, he left again and then came back asked us about were we can be reached if he wanted to make an offer, so i told him were we would be in Jan. or there abouts.wanted to know if there was going to be a fax. Now that would be great to have him make an offer we can live with. Maybe the money guys are thinking of what to do with there money at the end of the yr....

Anyway we headed for Burns, the weather was perfect sunshine and clear skies. We decided to take 205 and head for the Steens Mt. glad we did, the roads were perfect, a little bit of snow on the side of the roads, a few up on the roads as we were going up, but they had sanded and it wasn't bad. Couldn't ask for a better trip so far. We are about 98 miles from Winnemucca, its dark and we decided to stop and eat, we saw a rest area and so pulled in. Not a sole here. So decided that we might as well stop here for the night. Not all that fond of driving in the dark. Roads seem too be pretty quiet. Hopefully it doesn't get too cold here, suppose to get down to 10 in Winnemucca tonight so who knows what its going to be here. Not putting the slides out either.

Princess is doing really well for her first long trip, first time she has been in the carrier for this many hours. we did stop at Riley in there big lot there and i let her out to get some excercise, and to potty, well guess what, we were there for 15 minutes and nope no potty, as i once said i was paper training her, the doggy pee pads. would she potty ourside? NO she came in, i took the pee pad out and away she went. So this will be interesting to see if she will go outside to do her business when i let her out.

Well will close for now, cold in the living room, as the heater is right next to the slide out. so no heat getting in here, guess i will go dig out the elec heater since we have the gen on.

Till tomorrow.

Wow what a night we had, we stopped at the rest area and decided to spend the night there, watched a movie went to bed at 9 too early for me but nothing else to do, never could go to sleep, way too cold, even with the heater and the propane on, had the gen on. About 11 Nevada said i can't sleep lets go on down the road, so we did, temp was 15 degrees. Roads were clear but we still drove slow just in case of deer, man there were a lot of rabbits out.

We drove into Winnemucca, what a neat place to see at x-mas time. all the trees along the road were lit up with lights, temp was 10 degrees there and it was frosty and snowy there all the trees were all frosted what a beautiful site that was. We ended up driving to Mills City truck stop, were we ate breakfast at 3 am. at the Fork in the Road, also Mr B's Casino along with a TA truck stop.

We just left Fallon Nevada, boy the weather couldn't be better, sunshine all the way so far, other than the cold night its perfect.

Princess is such a good little traveler now, she doesn't slobber anymore and she likes to sleep on the back of my chair on my neck, Not the greatest for my neck. Tried taking her out to potty again but she has no part of that, likes to sniff the ground and come in and use her pee pads LOL


We got to Walker Lake, Nevada hates going around lakes in cold weather, but the roads are good, no snow, no wind, couldn't of asked for a better day.




Here are some photos of the

furry kids riding in the motor home, each has a place that they prefer.

This is Buttercup and Oliver




Here is Smiley on the little couch that i have sitting on the bed when traveling




We are now in Beatty Nevada. At the Death Valley INN and Candy Company, to get gas, but it got to be late so we decided we better look for a place to park it. So we went in and got some candy, Yummmy. too much to choose from, would of been nice to have a bite of each. Anyway we asked the guy at the counter about a place to park, he told us of a few campgrounds around here. But then he said now if you want cheap camping with nothing, he said your welcome to park across the street in the empty lot, well there is a place that looks like a car savage place and just after that is an empty lot with some trees around it, found the perfect spot to set up house. Even put the slides out tonight which everyone is happy about. more room to rumble.

Hope that i can sleep better tonight than i have the last 3 nights, i am so tired, but not going to bed yet, too early, Nevada said we will leave early in the morning.
