Valley of the Sun State Park near Overton, NV.
A must see place 50 mile northeast of Vegas. Just off I -15. Well worth the drive. Great scenery and terrific campground. The girls loved the walks and the ground squirrels. And, after a week of cool weather at Williams, it was warm again. Sunny and in the 90's during the day so I got to wear shorts again.
After two nights, we headed west. Again we braved the Extra Terrestial Highway ( 150 miles of no services) until Tonopah. While fueling up in Tonopah, R noticed liquid dripping out from under the truck. Anti-freeze! Not good!
Found a shop nearby and determined that the leak was from the water pump. There was a casino a block away so we pulled the trailer to the RV spots behind it and paid for two nights. The next morning, Friday, I was at the shop at 7:30. The replacement pump was in Bishop, Ca 110 miles away, so I figured we would be lucky to leave by midday on Saturday.
My phone rang at 1pm saying the truck was done! I was happy. I can't believe how fortunate we have been. With the tire not bowoing out, and the water pump not failing in the middle of nowhere. Surely, we are being watched over. Thank you, Lord.

Mechanical issues on the road are not a whole lot of fun. Glad the problems were fixed without too much hassle. Hope things work out well in Tahoe.
If you get the chance check out the May/June Workamper News magazine article about ORPI.
