Stop 7: New Frontier RV Park

So here we are in Winnemucca, Nevada. 

The drive today was spectacular.

Driving through the salt lake riverbeds was really interesting.

We saw smooth green mountains, jagged mountains with bluffs, brushy prairies, and some gorgeous green valleys. We really do have an awesome planet.

So we got to the RV park at about 4:30. Okay. Nothing about this place seems memorable. Maybe it's just because I am so frickin' hot. 

We now realize how great the newish air conditioning in the old truck works. We were comfy all day.

The park is functional and nice enough I guess. We tend to stay away from people, so we didn't hang out in the main building. They had nothing but beer in their wall of refrigeration. Stuff like Bud, bud light, and the like. Their beer choices kinda reflected the mood of the place. Nothing special. They weren't rude. Just not really very friendly. We're just not used to zero small talk--especially with someone who you are giving your money to.

I think she had it in her head that we had one of those campers on the back of the truck because she gave me a little attitude when I attempted to clarify as concisely as I could that we had a trailer. She replied, "You should NOT detach the truck from the camper."

So the park has full hookup spaces, picnic tables, etc. For the pull-through spaces, Instead of gravel, the spaces are blacktop. This meant taking FOREVER (about 2 hours, but seemed like forever) to cool off the trailer. In fact, even after hooking up ASAP and running the AC full on, it actually got hotter inside before it finally cooled off. It was in the 90s when we got here. The trailer went up to 105 before it went back down to 75. I know my cooking didn't help, but geesh. 

I didn't take pics because we really just wanted to get cooled off and go to bed. Dinner was a blur. Oh yeah I had the rest of my grilled cheese and tomato basil soup from last night and I made Roger tomato sauce from the Creamery with sausage from Steckler's, some fresh garlic (my own grown from home) on rice noodles.

Tomorrow is a Looong day and we want to get an early start. Well, a long day for us. It will probably be 8 hours depending on how long we stop for lunch.

California, here we come!
