We left Wisconsin on Oct 12 and decided to take I80 across Iowa and Nebraska and then I76 to Denver. We hadn't been that way with the RV & wanted to go a different way this year. I don't think we will be doing that again this late in the year. We didn't run into any snow, but it was too cold. The mountains also were tough on the truck. Pulling 16,000 lbs up to 11,000 ft. was hard on it, and then coming back down (without an exhaust brake) really heated up the brakes, even in 2nd gear, I had to do a lot of braking. Next time, I think we'll go further south and avoid the higher mountains and the cold.
We've been in Pahrump for a week now. I haven't taken the time to post anything, so I figured that I should do it this morning. We've run into quite a few friends here. Kim & Jill, Jim & Karen, Jerry & Laura, Rick & Pam, Paul & Carol and Pat & Dee. The weather here has been wonderful. It's in the 80's and cool at night. I have played Texas Holdum a couple of times at the casino and I am 30 dollars ahead. I also played in a tournament at the casino and split the pot with 2 other guys. We were the only ones left and rather than play it out & winner take all, we agreed to split it. I got $60 from that. So add that to our losses at the slots & we are only down a little. Mostly we have been taking advantage of the 2 for 1 buffets at the casinos. We haven't cooked one meal since we've been here. It's a good thing that we are leaving Monday. If we stayed a month, we'd gain 50 lbs each.
I'll post again when we get to Pilot Knob in Yuma.
