The Trip

We are on the road. 

   Day 1:  Canby to Alturas.   Left Canby at 8:22.  Traveled down I-5 to Eugene and over Hwy 58                        and Willamette Pass.  The early morning hours fog, wet pavement, traffic and a few idiots                    who did not realize that headlights were a good idea.  Dry pavement on Hwy 97 through
                Klamath Falls and ending at Alturas, Ca.
   Day 2:  Alturas to Tonopah, Nv.  395 south, Through Reno, 50 to 50A to hwy 95. thru Hawthorne
                to Tonopah, Nv.  We have been on this road before, and know the road.  We spent the night                  parked at the RV park behind the casino.

   Day 3:  Tonopah to Needles, Ca  Nice highway  Hwy 95  Lots of sunshine. long vistas of                                  mountains.  Stopped at Desert Wildlife Refuge just north of Las Vegas to see friends who
                are volunteering there.  Then we pushed through the big city still on hwy 95.  It's 45 miles
                from north to south. Then on to Needles. where we are parked tonight.

  Impressions of Nevada. 
               Lots of distant vistas. Much open land.  Not many towns,  Not many trees.  The wrinkled                     mountains of Nevada.  The vast blue skies.  Vapor trails are everywhere.  They look like                       white lines on a giant blue chalk board.

   Tomorrow we arrive in the Phoenix area where we will visit with friends for a week (with a trip to Algodones for dental work). Then we will resume our trip to Texas.
