The Adventure Resumes Saturday Dec 29

   Finally,  the new axle was installed on Friday afternoon, the brakes hooked up and the rig was ready to go.  So, one week after we drove away from our house in Canby, we resumed our journey south.!!!
South on 395 through Reno, exited 395 at Carson City, east on Hwy 50 to Fallon, and then south on US 95.  Hawthorne, known for the worlds largest ammo depot and the US Naval Underwater Submarine Warfare School (no joke).

This is what much of Nevada looks like.

    Another 100 miles brought us to Tonopah.  Not the end of the earth, but you can see it from there. 

If you look in the distance, at the base of those bigger mountains in the distance is the mining town of Tonopah.  Not much, I'm afraid.  We stopped for fuel about 4 pm and it was 33 degrees and going lower, so we continued another 100 miles on to Beatty, Nv.  It is several thousand feet lower, (Tonopah is at 6000 ft)  so the temperature was much better.  Spent the night at the Space Station RV park.  It's an ok place but nothing "spacey" about it.
