This was my sentiment yesterday morn equally I wrote my weblog post...as it is every morning, including this morning.
Yesterday's drive was simply over 200 miles, as well as thus nosotros were inwards no hurry to leave. I had some fourth dimension to run upward up the day's inchy. This ane was easy...just a buttonhole run upward around the exterior edge.
There isn't a lot to say y'all virtually yesterday. It was a twenty-four hours of driving on a long straightaway road. We were backtracking the way nosotros came from Las Vegas.
The Mojave Desert is pretty here. This is the expanse where Joshua Trees are growing.
Also, I got some improve pictures equally nosotros passed past times the Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge.
This is the upper lake.
There are some marshy areas. Sometimes y'all tin run across deer, elk, or moose inwards areas similar this.
We didn't run across anything coming or going...not fifty-fifty many birds at this fourth dimension of year.
This is the lower lake.
At both sections, nosotros passed past times a sign that read it was a "major deer crossing area."
I tin believe whole herds cross the route hither to drinkable at the lake.
Shortly afterward lunch, nosotros reached Boulder City. I knew it was Boulder City because of the "BC" on the hillside to our north.
We've stayed at this common many times before. On a previous visit, nosotros toured Hoover Dam. You tin read all about our twenty-four hours at Hoover Dam correct here. Mike noted final black that when nosotros caput southward from here, we'll hold upward crossing over this tall scary bridge. We should direct maintain a practiced sentiment of the dam from there.
But getting dorsum to the RV park, nosotros direct maintain a dainty opened upward infinite here. That's us on the left.
Since nosotros haven't been inwards unopen proximity to a grocery store since earlier nosotros left Pahrump, nosotros had no nutrient for dinner, as well as nosotros drove into the historic role of Boulder City. It was lit upward pretty final night.
This was the object of our desire. We've eaten at Boulder Dam Brewing Co. before.
So, this post service started amongst kitties as well as it volition goal amongst kitties. I wanted to exhibit y'all what happens when nosotros brand it at a novel location. To explain, the kitties ride inwards the sleeping room when nosotros become downwards the road. It's the smoothest ride for them. The sleeping room door needs to hold upward closed equally nosotros become downwards the road, but it serves the role of allowing me to create some things when I come inwards the RV without having to worry virtually escapees. They direct maintain access to their nutrient as well as H2O as well as their potty box. On either side of the bed at that topographic point are cubbies, as well as they each accept upward refuge, either lonely or together. When nosotros accomplish a novel place as well as activate the stabilizing jacks, they know they'll hold upward released soon. Incidentally, nosotros sometimes come inwards the RV simply to usage the bathroom. They don't come upward out for those brusk stops... they appear to hold upward triggered past times the audio of the jacks coming down.
So amongst the scene described, I ask to hold off for the RV to automatically degree earlier I opened upward the door as well as convey downwards the steps. When I come upward inwards the door, I kickoff opened upward the room slides. It's a tight squelch inwards the RV earlier the slides are opened, as well as I take away the catio to the outdoors earlier I allow them out. Meanwhile, they are meowing as well as scratching at the door inwards excitement. When the door opens...stand back! It's equally if they are shot from guns! So I tried to capture it amongst video. This isn't the best video. I'll endeavor over again at our adjacent stop. Nevertheless, I shot it, as well as thus I'm showing it. If y'all can't run across the video, as well as thus click correct here. Be certain to plough upward your volume.
We're expecting pelting today, although you'd never know it to aspect at the brilliant sunshine outdoors. Today we'll hold upward taking assist of "life" things...grocery shopping, running a few errands, as well as laundry. We'll direct maintain a twenty-four hours to relax tomorrow earlier moving on to Sedona the adjacent day.
