We had a short but tiring driving day today due to the
strong and gusty winds. The good news was that it was mostly down hill. We went
from about 4800’ in Virgin, UT to 2400’ here in Boulder City, NV.
I wasn’t going to bother with a post today because we have
not really done anything but drive. Then I realized the whole purpose of this
stop is to record another state on our states visited map in the right column
of this blog. We are now at 27 states after hanging at 26 since the fall of
2013. So, here is to Nevada our first new state in two years! By the way, our
criteria for counting a state is that we must sleep over at least one night in
a state to take credit for it. Barbara and I have been to nearly every state,
but this map records our journey in our RV.
We are staying the night at Canyon Trails RV Park. It is a
nicely kept, medium sized park with paved roads and gravel sites. There is a
nice pool and clean restrooms, although we have not used either. There is a
nice fenced dog area and lots of friendly dogs for Bella to play with. She and
Jasper spent a good bit of time wrestling in the road and came away pretty
dirty, so…
An interesting feature of this park is the cactus gardens at
the end of each row. There are some very old cacti here and they are starting
to bloom. Not quite ready for photos, though, but the old desert artifacts with
them were worthy of a shot.
We will be leaving early in the morning, well, early for us.
It is forecast to be another windy day and we would like to be well down the
road before the winds peak in the afternoon. It is expected to be well over six
hours of driving to reach Agave Gulch in Tucson.
