We were on the road at 8:09 this morning going through Goldfield the elevation was 6690 feet which we thought was pretty high but then the Goldfield summit was 6697. Not long afterwards Vera saw her first cactus, we are not sure what type it was. All along the drive yesterday we would see cattle warning signs, cattle guards but never saw any cattle. Today, no signs, but she saw a donkey, goat and a herd of cows. We are getting good gas mileage here, it was down hill for quite a ways when we left Tonopah.
They must get a fair amount of snow up here because there were pretty tall makers along the road.
These are Joshua trees, the first ones we had seen.
It was another nice day to travel, this is just before we got to Beatty.
We filled up with gas at Eddie World.
Then we parked across the street and walked back for ice cream and Lays chips. Then we headed South on US 95 to Las Vegas. There was construction almost all the way through Las Vegas on 95 but we made it OK.
We turned off US 95 at Henderson and took US 93 through Boulder City towards Phoenix
We stopped at a nice park in Boulder City and had lunch.
This is Lake Mead as we were heading out of town.
Going past Hoover Dam there are lots of bridges and cross wind warnings for trucks and RVs.
I am not sure where this is but the low afternoon sun was making the hills stand out.
We spent the night at the Hidden Oasis RV Park in Wikieup Arizona. It looked a little run down but they were very friendly and helpful.
