Bittersweet as We Leave AZ

We left AZ a day earlier than planned to get over Donner Summit (I-80 at 7325’) before the forecasted snow storm hit.

Although we’ve made this journey many times, it was somewhat bittersweet and maudlin, to say the least, since this was probably the end of our RVing Adventures, which began in 1971 with a 67 Chevy 3/4 ton camper special truck (which we still have) and a 10.5’ slide in Chinook Camper, with 2 young children and one Dalmatian in tow. As many of you know, we purchased a park model residence at Canyon Vistas RV Resort in AZ this year, in January (see blog Feb 1) so we will be taking a new direction... as we continue to “wander free”.

The first 2 days of our trip home were wind and rain free with glorious skies and pleasant vistas in every direction, which I hope you’ll enjoy as you follow along via the photo gallery, as we travelled thru Wickenburg, and Kingman AZ before crossing into Laughlin NV via NV 68, then North on NV Hwy 95 to our first nights stop in the parking lot at “Terrible’s Casino” in Searchlight NV. Day 2 took us along Hwy 95, thru Las Vegas and many favorite haunts, like Goldfield and Tonopah, all the way to Hawthorne.

Tomorrow we’ll make the final leg of this journey and the final journey with our 5th Wheel in tow - as we head for Reno NV and take I-80 west to our home in Colfax CA.

Blogging entries will continue in CA as we once again take up our “family and friends fun and frolic” adventures. See you later...
