Today we started out for Phoenix, Arizona. The weather man had predicted snow for today. Good thing he was wrong. We took a detour through Thousand Springs Scenic Highway bypassing Twin Falls headed to Jackpot, Nevada. Nevada is a miserable State to drive through. We had high winds that kept our rig from traveling the speed limit. The thing about Nevada...if you see a gas station....STOP. There are few places to get fuel. Some of the town's listed on the map do not have fuel. It is not uncommon to go 200 miles or more between filling stations. Today we traveled 12 hours on our journey. We are parked at a Loves Truck Stop just outside the Freeway entrance where Highway 93 meets 15.
Our journey did gave some sightings...1very large gopher, and 2 coyotes. The first coyote was standing next to the Highway and looked both ways before crossing. Had to laugh at that. The 2nd one had already crossed the highway. Several places along the way there are deer crossings where the road goes under a bridge for the deer. Quite unique. Tomorrow is another day..should arrive in good time.
