We arrived in Las Vegas after an uneventful flight with WestJet (about 4 hours). We took a taxi to the RV center (about 20 minutes) in blistering heat (38C+). We had to watch the video all about taking care of the RV (Paul had watched it before but I made him watch through it again). We signed up all the papers (paid extra $60 to not have to fill up the propane or do the grey or black water – yuck – well worth it). Insurance and damage deposit worked out to $1000, so the credit card is being kept busy. Rolling out of the RV yard, after having a few little things fixed, it was a big pig on gas and just physical size. Huge 30’ RV (room for 6 people, but just 2 of us).
Then we drove to Costco, picked up most of the supplies and then hit the local WalMart for Bikes (2) and the remainder of the food. Tried to get ESE pods for the Handpresso at a starbucks but they never heard of them – have to try another starbucks. We had a small dinner at Quizno’s (uh) and then on our way on I-95 north. We’re now heading to TONOPAH town to park the RV, have a beer/chips and catch some sleep. Tomorrow we’ll get up early and might make it to Reno first, pick up some more supplies and get to Black Rock around late afternoon. In total its an 8 hour drive – we’re just cutting 3 hours off of that so tomorrow will be easier.
