We left our friends Tuesday at about noon. We didn't want to leave as we were hoping to see more friends while we were in Quartzite but I felt we needed to. Ken needs to have a follow up appointment on his back. It's healing nicely, but seems a bit hard to me surrounding the wound area. Texas will wait.

| The dust storm |
We had a nice drive, windy and dusty but still an easy drive. We ended up in Cal Nev Ari at the RV Park there. We've stayed there a few times, it used to be Passport America, but no more. $33.15 for the night, so it's affordable. Full hookups, and pull through sites, very nicely kept park. Quiet for sure, other than the howling winds and cold temps. A lot of the park seems to be locals living there, but still ok. $450.00 a month I would assume is the draw.
Wednesday morning we woke up around 0600 and started getting ready. We left around 1000 and had a nice drive through Vegas. Traffic yes, but not rush hour. Ken did a great job navigating through there! It was about 1230 when we were through most of it. We stopped at Armagosa Valley and had lunch in the Mansion. Originally we thought we'd stop there for the night, but it was close to 1400 and we thought, let's move on.
We are in Tonopah, NV at the Tonopah Station RV Park, basically a parking lot with hookups. Used to be $27.00 for the night but now it's $34.00. Can't get any tv stations but that's ok, Ken brought dvds. The most important thing is heat! So cold here! It was 21 feels like 8. Yes, there is wind! 26 at home..oh yay! Talked with Karen and it snowed Tuesday evening. We'll see her tonight for Happy Hour.
Too bad it was such a short trip, but that's how the jello jiggled! We are blessed with our family and friends and that's all that matters.
