Happy Thanksgiving!

Safe travels if on the road!!

We did say "subject to change".

Just a slight change and a good one.

First 2 overnights were as scheduled but then looking over the route for Monday we decided to forego staying overnight in Wickenburg, AZ and drove all the way (a little over a 5 hour run) to the Silverado RV Resort in Eloy, AZ. where we will now be until sometime in April.

All settled in and actually had our first Happy Hour an hour after we arrived.

Couple things to do but mostly setup the way we like.

Safe travels for those enroute and we will post more soon....including pics.

OK...time for the update we luv to post

Itinerary Update


Voted today by absentee ballot.


Getting ready to head to S. Arizona for the winter!!

Plan is to head out on the 21st after doing some things going on like early NV voting on Saturday the 20th , CCW Renewal Class, Drs.appt and some other things.

This year instead of going over the 'hill' on I-80 into CA. (last years routing) we are going to get a different view (not crossing the Sierra's twice) and here is our itinerary as of today.

Subject to change of course....

Saturday October 20: Reno to Tonopah, NV - overnight.

Sunday October 21: Tonopah, NV to Boulder City, NV - overnight.

Monday October 22: Boulder City, NV to Wickenburg, Arizona - overnight.

Wednesday October 23: Wickenburg, Arizona to Eloy, AZ and the Silverado RV Resort until April 2019.

Will try and update more along the way.

Safe travels to all of our friends on the way down...cya soon.

Now the Boot Fire....

All set to go Thursday to Meadowcliff Lodge and Coleville/Walker KOA for the annual Concert Under the Cliff.

The Boot Fire could change our plans...but we'll know more early a.m. tomorrow.

Called the good people at Meadowcliff to see how they were doing and their OK and no plans to evacuate as the fire is about 18 miles to the South.

CHP has road closures now spanning US 395 beginning at Hollbrook Junction (north of Topaz Lake) to Bridgeport. They have to start the North 395 closure at Hollbrook because there is no other road that exits the area 'completely' after Hollbrook before the actual fire location.

So the people at Meadowcliff said when getting to the road closure block at Hollbrook tell authorities you are staying at Meadowcliff and they should/will let us continue.

We will take another look tomorrow before heading out planned for just before noon. Travel time is about 1:30 for the 75 mile trip.

More when we have it....

Having a great time in Elko seeing/listening to Pat and C.C.

Saturday the 4 of us had Basque lunch at the Star Basque Restaurant that Pat andd C.C recommended. Betty had the Crab Sandwich and Pat had the Salmon Steak. C.C. and I both had the Lamb Chops which were delicious. The basque Cabbage Soup is a house specialty and Betty and Pat 'scored' the recipe from the chef. Cabbage Soup in Eloy this wnter for sure.

Saw C.C.'s shows Friday, Saturday and one more tonight before heading back to Reno tomorrow. Pat and C.C. are also leaving tomorrow traveling back to their home in So. AZ. for the winter where we will see them again late October early November.

So nice to meet their friends Mike and Phyllis from Montana and sharing memories.

The boots in a couple of photos...the boots are all over town...fun.

We'll see Pat and C.C. in late October at our winter digs in S. AZ.

Elko, NV

Left Reno about 10am yesterday and after a 5 hour non-stop drive on I-80 arrived at the Iron Horse RV Resort just before 3pm. Very nice site (large) with a great view of the mountains.

It was time to relax after setting up with a light dinner and early bed...for me anyway.

Today we'll be doing some TLC to the rig, probably doing a Walmart run and then getting ready to go see Pat and C.C. tonight at the Stockmen's Casino.

Hopefully they will have time to stop over by us sometime for a visit.

More when we have it....

Headin' East in a couple of days.

Got the rig home today after truck oil/filter change and rotated all 6 tires, lubed rig axles and got tire pressures where I want them, Stanley Steemer coming out tomorrow (early) for the annual carpet cleaning then it's doing a little loading of clothes and supplies.

Thursday we leave about 10am for about a 4+ hour trip on I-80 to Elko, NV. Pups staying home with Jesse dog sitting. Jesse stays at the house when we are in Eloy, AZ for the Winter.

Looking forward to seeing Pat and C.C. again. Weather going to be gorgeous.

We'll have updates from Elko.

Back Monday for a couple days before going to Meadowcliff for the Annual Concert Under the Cliff.
