We Gotta "Get Out of Dodge" Date.................

this coming Sunday. If all goes as planned we'll leave early Sunday morning and take the back woods road to Reno, this saves us about 51 miles, instead of taking the interstate. The road from Sacramento to Reno really sucks so the back route can't be any worse and we have more time then money so it'll work out OK. We're going to drive on through Reno to the Naval Air Station at Fallon, NV and spend the night at the military RV park. Monday we head down to the road to Death Valley and spend the night at a campground a few miles south of Scotty's Castle. Do the tourist thing on Tuesday and then probably drive down to another campground at Furnace Creek. We should be there a few days (if it isn't too COLD at night........been looking at the weather reports and it drops down into the upper 30s at night!!!) and will use it as a base camp to explore the surrounding area. When we leave, hopefully, we'll be able to exercise some self-control and drive on through Las Vegas to Laughlin. We'll probably check into a hotel for a couple of days..........at $16.95 a night we can't go too far wrong.........enjoy the unlimited hot water, get in a little geocaching and then amble on down to Yuma later in the week.

That's our plan; but, we probably won't stick to it.
