We headed south as fast as we could with the threat of snow in the high country. We stopped at a rest area north of Ely, Nevada. Its called the Pony Express station rest area. It was a stop along the famous Pony Express route. The rider looks like he's trying to beat the snow coming just like us. When we got south of Ely and at a much lower elevation we were back in warm weather. Las Vegas is full of road construction and heavy traffic. We opted to go the long way around by going through a state park and the Lake Mead Recreation Area. It was an extra hour of driving and the road in the state park was not fun pulling an RV but we didn't have any traffic or road construction. We met people later that went through Vegas and said they missed their exit because of poor signage with the construction and spent an extra hour on the road.
We enjoyed some time in Kingman, Arizona. The weather was perfect -- 70's and 80's. We went and picked up our boat out of storage. It survived nicely and Jim already has the batteries charged up. We are now in Quartzsite, Arizona where it is still in the high 90's. We are enjoying doing a little gold prospecting -- early in the AM while it is still cool.
