Hang on and steer.....

7:07 am - Monday - October 21st - Henderson, NV - 57° F, humidity 39%, wind 2 mph out of the west.....mostly sunny today with a forecast high of 83° F.  On this date in 2017 TLE and I were attending the wedding of our youngest, Tim, to Laila in Riverside, CA at the Mission Inn.....

.....seems like yesterday!

We had a 200 mile drive planned for Sunday, but we were in no hurry to be on the road.  We had our eyes set on leaving around 10 am, and what do you know?  As we drove through Goldfield I looked at the clock and saw it was 10:02 am....perfect!

After a brief climb out of the city we began a 196 mile descent from over 6,000' elevation to just under 2,000' elevation in Henderson, NV.  The first 90 miles was either flat, or a slight decline, so we were at zero throttle for a lot of the time, just coasting along on a cushion of air.  The driving does not get much better than Sunday.....

......sometimes we could see where we would be in 30 minutes the view was so big, and so long.  The Newell performed flawlessly, and all I had to do was hang onto the steering wheel and enjoy the view.  We made one stop at a truck stop in Amargosa Valley to add air to the trailer tires, and were back on our way in about 20 minutes.  

As we neared Las Vegas the traffic, of course, increased exponentially, and US-95 went from 1 lane to 5 lanes in just a few miles.  We arrived at our destination, a Walmart Supercenter, around 2:15 pm.  The Walmart is behind us, and there is an In 'N Out Burger in front of us.....

...we walked over to COSTCO to do some shopping, and while we were there we each had one of their $1.50 ballpark hotdogs with a drink before walking back to the coach.....

....I watched part of the NLCS (National League Championship Series) game 6 between my L.A. Dodgers and the New York Mets in which the Dodgers were victorious.....10-5.  The Dodgers will be playing the New York Yankees in the World Series beginning Friday.....nice......they last won the World Series in 2020.....

.....it took a while to get used that background sound of a busy city, but we slept well, and in a couple of hours we'll be heading to our winter destination....stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by!
