Awake: 5:40am Temp 61 Some clouds & windy Overnight @ Las Vegas, NV
After breakfast we make a quick trip to our nearest Costco (5 min drive) &
stock up on frozen blueberries, frozen crab cakes & pork chops.
Leave the Las Vegas Int’l RV Resort @ 10:40am. This place was great; a
terrific location, big rig friendly, quiet, lots of amenities, all new
condition, etc., but next month, the bulldozer cometh.
We don’t need any diesel fuel @ this time but if we follow through with
our mountainous travel plans, we probably should top off our tank while we
have easy access, so we make a 45 min stop @ the North Las Vegas Flying
“J” plaza. Further up I-15, as we enter Utah, we stop @ the Tourist Info
center for 30 min.
Arrive @ Zions Gate RV Park in Hurricane, Utah @ 3:30pm. Good traveling
day; very smooth roads & very scenic natural beauty, especially going
through the Virgin River canyon & mountains of Northwestern Arizona.
Today’s travel: 3+09 hrs 143.3 miles 18.13 gal 8.13 mpg 50.7 avg speed
We park, hook up our utilities, etc., and then I invite Kathy for a walk
around this old but big rig friendly campground. 10 min into our walk, we
shortcut our way back to the bus because those dark clouds suddenly have
lowered, the winds picked up & within a few minutes, heavy rain…off & on
throughout the remainder of the afternoon & evening.
7:30 Dinner: Pork chops with zucchini noodles alfredo, fried apples, fried
whole wheat noodles + mixed fresh salad.
Tonight we watch some of the Desperate Housewives & Gray’s Anatomy soap
opera…then watch something a little more intellectual: The bio of
President Ulysses Grant. Things we didn’t know about Ulysses that made him
such a popular president.
High temp today=71 Lights out: 11:34pm
