Today we “pull up our trailer pins, and we can get away together for good”! (‘Donkey Town’ – Mark Knopfler). Our travels will take us north through Nevada, starting with a short day at Boulder Beach Campground near Boulder City, NV. I have been toying with two routes – one, more easterly through Ely, NV, and the other to the west through Tonopah, NV. Ely is showing some potential for snow, while Tonopah is going to see some stronger winds. I will probably opt for the winds rather than snow.

Our three nights at Lake Havasu City have provided us with a nice opportunity to do a bit of bike explorations as the City is jumping with Car Shows, Blues Music, and all the other stuff associated with a busy spring break weekend.

We hit the very warm temperature of 34º on Saturday. Loud engine noise is frequent from unmuffled cars, large ‘cigar boats’, and many motorcycles. Our Lake Havasu State Park site is lovely, and a bit removed from most of the activity. (We were very lucky to nail down a 3 night stay!) Yesterday, during our bike ride, clouds piled up ominously to the north, and we hurried back expecting a storm. We rushed to dismount, and rack our bikes, and just got things away when a few hard raindrops fell. And that was the end of the rain! Instead we had another spectacular sunset.

TruckHouse Jr. is so comfortable, and pulls effortlessly behind the GMC. We are thrilled with everything about our Escape 5.0TA! Sandy is finding that she is generally sleeping much better than normal. This is a great improvement! (No yardwork, no quilting, and two minutes to sweep and wash floor!) FYI…I also do a bit of work! (I washed TruckHouse in Yuma, and I cook on occasion, as well as try to beat S to doing the dishes, though I frequently lose that race.)

We look forward to our return home on Easter Sunday. Until then…

Best wishes, and much love to everyone!

Tony, and Sandy
